gd_interpolation.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.1.1, as used in PHP before 5.5.36, 5.6.x before 5.6.22, and 7.x before 7.0.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image that is mishandled by the imagescale function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-7456 is an old image-processing flaw in GD/libgd as used by PHP. A specially crafted image could make affected systems crash while resizing images, causing service disruption. The sources also mention possible unspecified impact, but do not define it. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP applications or services that process user-supplied images using GD imagescale, including upload, thumbnailing, or media-resizing workflows. Modern maintained PHP/libgd deployments are less likely affected. Prioritize remediation for legacy PHP systems that accept image uploads or resize remote content. Treat this mainly as an availability risk unless vendor-specific evidence shows broader impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade libgd to 2.1.1 or later where directly managed.; Upgrade PHP to 5.5.36, 5.6.22, 7.0.7, or later supported releases.; Apply distribution vendor updates referenced by Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or HPE as applicable..
