Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng which can allow |
19 |
a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service condition. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network |
25 |
Graphics) images. It is used by several programs, including web |
26 |
browsers and potentially server processes. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 media-libs/libpng < 1.6.10 >= 1.6.10 |
35 |
< 1.3 |
36 |
*>= 1.5.18 |
37 |
|
38 |
Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
The png_push_read_chunk function in pngpread.c in the progressive |
42 |
decoder enters an infinite loop, when it encounters a zero-length IDAT |
43 |
chunk. In addition certain integer overflows have been detected and |
44 |
corrected. |
45 |
|
46 |
The 1.2 branch is not affected by these vulnerabilities. |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG |
52 |
file using an application linked against libpng, possibly resulting in |
53 |
Denial of Service. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.6.10" |
67 |
|
68 |
Users with current installs in the 1.5 branch should also upgrade this |
69 |
using: |
70 |
# emerge --sync |
71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.5.18:1.5" |
72 |
|
73 |
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
74 |
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages. |
