+ Tomas Hoger reported that the _gdGetColors() function in gd_gd.c does
+ not properly verify the colorsTotal struct member, possibly leading to
+ a buffer overflow.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image
+ file with a program using the GD library, possibly resulting in the
+ remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
+ running the application, or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GD users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/gd-2.0.35-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since November 21, 2009. It is likely that your system is
+ already no longer affected by this issue.
