Description:
Kees Cook has reported a vulnerability in GD Graphics Library, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "gdImageStringFTEx()" function in gdft.c, which can be exploited to increment the terminating NULL of a string, potentially resulting in a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation requires that a JIS-encoded font is used.
