CVE-2015-8877

La función gdImageScaleTwoPass en gd_interpolation.c en el GD Graphics Library (también conocido como libgd) en versiones anteriores a 2.2.0, como es utilizado en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.6.12, usa asignaciones inconsistentes y enfoques libres, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación del servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de una llamada manipulada, según lo demostrado mediante una llamada a la función PHP imagescale.

It was discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled certain color tables in XPM images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XPM image, an attacker could cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
