Impact:	Important	What is this?

Description

A flaw was found in libgd. Processing a specially crafted GIF file allows a remote attacker to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in an application crash and a denial of service. Arbitrary code execution is possible in theory, but considered highly unlikely because standard image decompression and pixel manipulation generally destroy the exploit payload. (From Red Hat.)
