Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-07-21 19:15:32 UTC
A flaw was found in php. The GIF decoding function gdImageCreateFromGifCtx in gd_gif_in.c (which can be reached with a call to the imagecreatefromstring() function) uses constant-sized color tables of size 3 * 256, but does not zero-out these arrays before use. This flaw could lead to a information leak through a specially crafted image with bogus color table.

Statement:

Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Moderate security impact. This issue is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates. We recommend avoiding usage of the functions gdImageCreateFromGifCtx() and imagecreatefromstring() as they can lead to stack data leak.
