GD Library Security Issues
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:32 am
Hi
I have used the GD Library to manipulate images on the server in a test enviroment. But as I understand it there were security issues with the GD Library itself and a lot of shared hosting environments do not install it. Can anyone tell me:
1. What the security issues were?
2. Whether they have been fixed?
3. If not what is out there as an alternative to manipulate images and create thumbs on the fly?
Many Thanks
