Subject Name:            gd
Subject Summary:         Fast Graphics Generation Library
Subject Home:            http://www.boutell.com/gd/
Subject Versions:        * <= 2.0.28

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2004-0990
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           
Attack Impact:           denial of service, arbitrary code execution

Description:
    In a BUGTRAQ posting [0], a vulnerability was reported for the
    graphics library GD [1]. There can be an integer overflow when
    allocating memory in the routine that handles loading of PNG image
    files. This later leads to heap data structures being overwritten. If
    an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they
    could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of
    the user opening the image. Similar integer overflow possibilities
    also exist in other code parts of GD.
