Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

The GD library could be made to crash or run programs if it processed a specially crafted image file.

Software Description: - libgd2: GD Graphics Library

Details:

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. (CVE-2016-6132, CVE-2016-6214)

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. (CVE-2016-6207)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libgd3 2.1.1-4ubuntu0.16.04.3

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libgd3 2.1.0-3ubuntu0.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
