Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities in libpng might allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network
Graphics) images. It is used by several programs, including web
browsers and potentially server processes.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/libpng            < 1.5.10                  >= 1.5.10
                                                           *>= 1.2.49

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng:

* The "embedded_profile_len()" function in pngwutil.c does not check
  for negative values, resulting in a memory leak (CVE-2009-5063).
* The "png_format_buffer()" function in pngerror.c contains an
  off-by-one error (CVE-2011-2501).
* The "png_rgb_to_gray()" function in pngrtran.c contains an integer
  overflow error (CVE-2011-2690).
* The "png_err()" function in pngerror.c contains a NULL pointer
  dereference error (CVE-2011-2691).
* The "png_handle_sCAL()" function in pngrutil.c improperly handles
  malformed sCAL chunks(CVE-2011-2692).
* The "png_decompress_chunk()" function in pngrutil.c contains an
  integer overflow error (CVE-2011-3026).
* The "png_inflate()" function in pngrutil.c contains and out of bounds
  error (CVE-2011-3045).
* The "png_set_text_2()" function in pngset.c contains an error which
  could result in memory corruption (CVE-2011-3048).
* The "png_formatted_warning()" function in pngerror.c contains an
  off-by-one error (CVE-2011-3464).

Impact
======

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running the vulnerable program,
which could be the root user, or to cause programs linked against the
library to crash.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All libpng 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.5.10"

All libpng 1.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.49"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
