CVE-2015-8472

It was discovered that the original fix for CVE-2015-8126 was incomplete and did not detect a potential overrun by applications using png_set_PLTE directly. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (application crash).

CVE-2015-8540

Xiao Qixue and Chen Yu discovered a flaw in the png_check_keyword function. A remote attacker can potentially take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (application crash).

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.49-1+deb7u2.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.50-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpng packages.");
