| Description: | Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng, a library for reading and writing PNG files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: The png_handle_tRNS function allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a grayscale PNG image with a bad tRNS chunk CRC value. Certain chunk handlers allow attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted pCAL, sCAL, tEXt, iTXt, and ztXT chunking in PNG images, which trigger out-of-bounds read operations. libpng allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PNG file with zero length "unknown" chunks, which trigger an access of uninitialised memory. The png_check_keyword might allow context-dependent attackers to set the value of an arbitrary memory location to zero via vectors involving creation of crafted PNG files with keywords. A memory leak in the png_handle_tEXt function allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PNG file. libpng allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file that triggers a free of an uninitialised pointer in the png_read_png function, pCAL chunk handling, or setup of 16-bit gamma tables. For the old stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version1.2.15~beta5-1+etch2. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.27-2+lenny2. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.35-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libpng packages. |
