Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libgd2' package(s) announced via the USN-298-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Xavier Roche discovered that libgd's function for reading GIF image data did not sufficiently verify its validity. Specially crafted GIF images could cause an infinite loop which used up all available CPU resources.
