Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. The graphics library GD used by several applications is vulnerable to arithmetic failures that may lead to buffer overflows afterwards. The bug can be exploited remotely by tricking a user or network application to open a malformated PNG image. A successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution.
