Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-3074
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/681.html

Integer signedness error in GD Graphics Library 2.1.1 (aka libgd or libgd2) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code via crafted compressed gd2 data, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Weakness

When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.
