Comment 5 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-07-11 10:01:22 UTC 
Analysis:

When imagecreatefromgd2() is fed a GD2 image format, which has a malformed (or a specially-crafted) headers, it causes integer overflow, followed by heap-buffer overflow.

In a typical PHP situation, the attacker needs to trigger this by uploading a specially-crafted gd image to a php application, something which is unlikely.
