Comment 1 Adam Mariš 2016-06-30 12:19:33 UTC
Created gd tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1351604]

Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2016-07-06 04:49:05 UTC
The functionality affected by this flaw was introduced after gd-2.0.35, which is the latest version packaged in RHEL.

Comment 5 Doran Moppert 2016-07-07 05:05:49 UTC
The impact of this flaw is limited by gd_security.c:  specifying an out of
range colour will cause out-of-bounds reads in gdImageCropThreshold, which can
lead to an attempt to crop the image to an invalid size.  Bounds checks in
gdImageCrop* functions ensure that no OOB data is copied into the final image,
and overflow2() prevents allocations from failing due to overflow/negative
sizes.

Maximum impact is a crash, but CVSS needs to reflect AV:N.
