The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200607-06 (libpng: Buffer overflow)

In pngrutil.c, the function png_decompress_chunk() allocates     insufficient space for an error message, potentially overwriting stack     data, leading to a buffer overflow.

Impact :

By enticing a user to load a maliciously crafted PNG image, an attacker     could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user, or crash the     application using the libpng library, such as the     emul-linux-x86-baselibs.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
