Modified After Enrichment
This CVE record has been updated after NVD enrichment efforts were completed. Enrichment data supplied by the NVD may require amendment due to these changes. Current DescriptionBuffer overflow in the imageloadfont function in ext/gd/gd.c in PHP 4.4.x before 4.4.9 and PHP 5.2 before 5.2.6-r6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file. Evaluator DescriptionMitre Description references "PHP 5.6 through 5.2.6" -- however research to the changelog for PHP 5 does not reflect a 5.6 release changelog: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php However, http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/08/08/2: "Those issues are fixed by the recent php-4.4.9 release, but they affect php-5.2.6 as well and the fixes are not part of any released version in case of 5.2."
