Insight
Buffer overflow in the gdImageStringFTEx function in gdft.c in the GD Graphics Library 2.0.33 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted string with a JIS encoded font.
Libwmf uses an embedded copy of the gd source and may also be affected by this issue.
Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
