Vulnerabilities
- CVE-2015-7981: The png_convert_to_rfc1123 function in png.c in libpng
allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive process memory information
via crafted tIME chunk data in an image file, which triggers an
out-of-bounds read (bsc#952051).
- CVE-2015-8126: Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2)
png_get_PLTE functions in libpng allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via a small bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk
in a PNG image (bsc#954980).");
