CVE-2016-5116 is a critical vulnerability in the GD Graphics Library (libgd) prior to version 2.2.0, specifically impacting custom PHP 5.5.x configurations, Debian, and openSUSE. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger a stack-based buffer under-read via a long name, leading to information disclosure from process memory or a denial of service (application crash).
