GD v2.2.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-06-24 // almost 8 years ago

  • 🚀 Exactly a month after 2.2.1 we welcome the 2.2.2 release. An important
    milestone in the GD 2.2 series.

    🔒 Security related fixes:

    • Integer Overflow in gdImagePaletteToTrueColor() resulting in heap overflow (CVE-2016-5767)
    • #215 Stack overflow with gdImageFillToBorder (CVE-2015-8874)
    • NULL Pointer Dereference at _gdScaleVert

    ✅ We also like to mention to consider the GD and GD2 image formats only for development or testing
    🚚 purposes. We do plan to deprecate it in GD 2.3 and remove it in GD 3.0. Its existence is not justified
    anymore as other formats provide lossless storage for both palette and truecolor images in a much more
    efficient way.

    🛠 Numerous other fixes have been applied. The scale and rotation functions have been greatly improved as well.

    ⚡️ This is a recommended update.
