Descriptions

gd_tga.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file.

gd_tga.c en GD Graphics Library (también conocida como libgd) en versiones anteriores a 2.2.3 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites) a través de un archivo TGA manipulado.

It was discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled certain malformed TGA images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted TGA image, an attacker could cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled memory when using gdImageScale. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
