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

+
+ +

+ libpng contains numerous vulnerabilities including null pointer dereference + errors and boundary errors in various functions. +

+
+ +

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

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to + upgrade to the latest available version. +

+
+ +

+ All libpng users should upgrade to the latest stable version: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r8" + # emerge ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r8" +

+ You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend on + older versions of libpng : +
