LibGD 2.2.3 release

We welcome the 2.2.3 release around a month after 2.2.2 (we are getting consistent). Another important milestone in the GD 2.2 series.

Security related fixes: This flaw is caused by loading data from external sources (file, custom ctx, etc) and are hard to validate before calling libgd APIs:

  • fix php bug 72339, Integer Overflow in _gd2GetHeader (CVE-2016-5766)
  • bug #247, A read out-of-bands was found in the parsing of TGA files (CVE-2016-6132)
  • also bug #247, Buffer over-read issue when parsing crafted TGA file (CVE-2016-6214)
  • bug #248, fix Out-Of-Bounds Read in read_image_tga

Using application provided parameters, in these cases invalid data causes the issues:

  • Integer overflow error within _gdContributionsAlloc() (CVE-2016-6207)
  • fix php bug 72494, invalid color index not handled, can lead to crash (CVE-2016-6128)
  • improve color check for CropThreshold

Important update:

  • gdImageCopyResampled has been improved. Better handling of images with alpha channel, also brings libgd in sync with php's bundled gd.

This is a recommended update.

On a sidenote, we have now a gitter channel if you have any questions or like to discuss with us, gitter, in addition to our "#libgd" freenode channel.

You can download the 2.2.3 version of GD Graphics Library from the libgd project.
