Synopsis

16

========

17

18

POV-Ray includes a version of libpng that might allow for the execution

19

of arbitrary code when reading a specially crafted PNG file

20

21

Background

22

==========

23

24

POV-Ray is a well known open-source ray tracer.

Description

35

===========

36

37

POV-Ray uses a statically linked copy of libpng to view and output PNG

38

files. The version shipped with POV-Ray is vulnerable to CVE-2008-3964,

39

CVE-2008-1382, CVE-2006-3334, CVE-2006-0481, CVE-2004-0768. A bug in

40

POV-Ray's build system caused it to load the old version when your

41

installed copy of libpng was >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.10.

42

43

Impact

44

======

45

46

An attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted PNG file as

47

a texture, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the

48

permissions of the user running the application.

49

50

Workaround

51

==========

52

53

There is no known workaround at this time.

54

55

Resolution

56

==========

57

58

All POV-Ray users should upgrade to the latest version:

59

60

      # emerge --sync

61

      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/povray-3.6.1-r4"
