"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has libpng packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- A flaw has been found in pnggroup libpng up to 1.6.55. Affected by this vulnerability is the function
do_pnm2png of the file contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c of the component pnm2png. This manipulation of the
argument width/height causes heap-based buffer overflow. The attack is restricted to local execution. The
exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue
report but has not responded yet. (CVE-2026-3713)
- LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) raster image files. Prior to 1.6.55, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the
png_set_quantize() API function. When the function is called with no histogram and the number of colors in
the palette is more than twice the maximum supported by the user's display, certain palettes will cause
the function to enter into an infinite loop that reads past the end of an internal heap-allocated buffer.
The images that trigger this vulnerability are valid per the PNG specification. This vulnerability is
fixed in 1.6.55. (CVE-2026-25646)
- LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) raster image files. Prior to version 1.6.51, 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. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.51. (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 257
required by the simplified PNG API. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.51. (CVE-2025-64720)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
