libpng vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

Libpng could be made to run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- libpng: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file library

Details:

Frank Busse discovered that libpng did not properly handle certain
malformed PNG images. If a user or automated system were tricked into
opening a crafted PNG file, an attacker could cause libpng to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu
10.04 LTS, 10.10, and 11.04. (CVE-2011-2501)
