therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0584 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-33416:
    LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
    Network Graphics) raster image files. In versions 1.2.1 through 1.6.55, png_set_tRNS and png_set_PLTE each
    alias a heap-allocated buffer between png_struct and png_info, sharing a single allocation across two
    structs with independent lifetimes. The trans_alpha aliasing has been present since at least libpng 1.0,
    and the palette aliasing since at least 1.2.1. Both affect all prior release lines png_set_tRNS sets
    png_ptr->trans_alpha = info_ptr->trans_alpha (256-byte buffer) and png_set_PLTE sets info_ptr->palette =
    png_ptr->palette (768-byte buffer). In both cases, calling png_free_data (with PNG_FREE_TRNS or
    PNG_FREE_PLTE) frees the buffer through info_ptr while the corresponding png_ptr pointer remains dangling.
    Subsequent row-transform functions dereference and, in some code paths, write to the freed memory. A
    second call to png_set_tRNS or png_set_PLTE has the same effect, because both functions call png_free_data
    internally before reallocating the info_ptr buffer. Version 1.6.56 fixes the issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
