"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1305 advisory.

    A heap buffer over-read vulnerability exists in libpng's png_do_quantize function when processing PNG
    files with malformed palette indices. The vulnerability occurs when palette_lookup array bounds are not
    validated against externally-supplied image data, allowing an attacker to craft a PNG file with out-of-
    range palette indices that trigger out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2025-64505)

    LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
    Network Graphics) raster image files. From version 1.6.0 to before 1.6.51, a heap buffer over-read
    vulnerability exists in libpng's png_write_image_8bit function when processing 8-bit images through the
    simplified write API with convert_to_8bit enabled. The vulnerability affects 8-bit grayscale+alpha,
    RGB/RGBA, and images with incomplete row data. A conditional guard incorrectly allows 8-bit input to enter
    code expecting 16-bit input, causing reads up to 2 bytes beyond allocated buffer boundaries. This issue
    has been patched in version 1.6.51. (CVE-2025-64506)

    LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
    Network Graphics) raster image files. From version 1.6.0 to before 1.6.51, an out-of-bounds read
    vulnerability exists in png_image_read_composite when processing palette images with
    PNG_FLAG_OPTIMIZE_ALPHA enabled. The palette compositing code in png_init_read_transformations incorrectly
    applies background compositing during premultiplication, violating the invariant component <= alpha x 257
    required by the simplified PNG API. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.51. (CVE-2025-64720)

    Heap buffer overflow in the libpng simplified API function png_image_finish_read when processing 16-bit
    interlaced PNGs with 8-bit output format. Attacker-crafted interlaced PNG files cause heap writes beyond
    allocated buffer bounds. (CVE-2025-65018)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
