Title:
  Potential DoS attack by running large images through GD

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released
Status in Mahara 1.4 series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When resizing images to create icons, etc., gd's imagecreatefrompng,
  etc., functions are called without checking the image size.  This can
  gobble lots of memory when the images are large, because gd can
  allocate memory without respecting the php memory limit.
