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. +

+
+ +

The png_push_read_chunk function in pngpread.c in the progressive + decoder enters an infinite loop, when it encounters a zero-length IDAT + chunk. In addition certain integer overflows have been detected and + corrected. +

+ +

The 1.2 branch is not affected by these vulnerabilities.

+
+ +

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG + file using an application linked against libpng, possibly resulting in + Denial of Service. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.6.10" + + +

Users with current installs in the 1.5 branch should also upgrade this + using: +

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.5.18:1.5" + + +

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