CVE-2026-9672 is an input-validation vulnerability in libgd, the graphics library used by GD and PHP's GD component. Processing a malformed GIF file can trigger the flaw. Affected distributions include Debian libgd2 and GD-related packages for Amazon Linux; PHP security releases also upgraded libgd to address the issue. Exploitation may cause a denial of service and could potentially permit arbitrary code execution.
