This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the GD Graphics Library. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the targeted application.
GD Graphics is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an application that relies on the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
