Synopsis ========
A vulnerability in libpng may allow a remote attacker to crash applications that handle untrusted images.
Background ==========
libpng is a free ANSI C library used to process and manipulate PNG images.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/libpng < 1.2.17 >= 1.2.17
Description ===========
Mats Palmgren fixed an error in file pngrutil.c in which the trans[] array might be not allocated because of images with a bad tRNS chunk CRC value.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could craft an image that when processed or viewed by an application using libpng causes the application to terminate abnormally.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
Please note that due to separate bugs in libpng 1.2.17, Gentoo does not provide libpng-1.2.17 but libpng-1.2.18. All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.18"
