CVE-2013-7226: Integer overflow in the gdImageCrop function in ext/gd/gd.c in PHP 5.5.x before 5.5.9 allows remote attacke...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw is in PHP's GD image handling. An application that lets an attacker influence image cropping could crash, and the CVE notes possible unspecified further impact. The clearest business risk is service disruption on old PHP 5.5 deployments. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems running PHP 5.5.x before 5.5.9 with GD enabled and application paths that call imagecrop using attacker-influenced input. The bundle does not identify other affected products. Treat this as a legacy-platform remediation item. Prioritize internet-facing image-processing services first, especially if they still run PHP 5.5.x. The age of the issue makes unsupported runtime exposure the main concern. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PHP 5.5.x installations to 5.5.9 or later.; Use distribution vendor security updates where PHP is OS-packaged.; Review image-processing endpoints that pass user-controlled dimensions to imagecrop..
