Name        : gd
Versions    : rh7.3: gd-1.8.4-4.1.legacy
Versions    : rh9: gd-1.8.4-11.1.legacy
Versions    : fc1: gd-2.0.15-1.2.legacy
Summary     : A graphics library for quick creation of PNG or JPEG
              images.
Description :
The gd graphics library allows your code to quickly draw images complete
with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other
images, and flood fills. The library will write out the result as a PNG
or JPEG file. This is particularly useful in Web applications, where PNG
and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most
Web browsers. Note that gd is not a paint or graphics manipulation
program.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Updated gd packages that fix security issues with overflow in various
memory allocation calls are now available.

The gd packages contain a graphics library used for the dynamic creation
of images such as PNG and JPEG.

Several buffer overflows were reported in various memory allocation
calls. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a
way that it could cause ImageMagick to execute arbitrary code when
processing the image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0990 to these issues.

While researching the fixes to these overflows, additional buffer
overflows were discovered in calls to gdMalloc. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CAN-2004-0941 to these issues.

Users of gd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported security patch, and are not vulnerable to these issues.
