+ <background>
+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>A null pointer dereference was discovered in libpng in the
+ png_push_save_buffer function. In order to be vulnerable, an application
+ has to load a text chunk into the PNG structure, then delete all text,
+ then add another text chunk to the same PNG structure, which seems to be
+ an unlikely sequence, but it is possible.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted PNG
+ file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
