Description

Previous versions of the gd package are vulnerable to a possible
Arbitrary Code Execution attack in which an attacker may use a
maliciously crafted GIF file to trigger a buffer overflow. The libgd
library is not exposed via any privileged or remote interfaces within
rPath Linux per se, but it may be exposed by some web applications.
