FKIE_CVE-2009-3546

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2009-10-19 20:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:11
Severity
Summary
The _gdGetColors function in gd_gd.c in PHP 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, and the GD Graphics Library 2.x, does not properly verify a certain colorsTotal structure member, which might allow remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow or buffer over-read attacks via a crafted GD file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3293. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
