Mikulas Patocka discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain large fields. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause libpng to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-3425)

Qixue Xiao discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain time values. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause libpng to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7981)

It was discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain small bit-depth values. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-8126).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
