PNG library vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

Several integer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in the PNG library.
These vulnerabilities could be exploited by an attacker by providing a
specially crafted PNG image which, when processed by the PNG library, could
result in the execution of program code provided by the attacker.

The PNG library is used by a variety of software packages for different
purposes, so the exact nature of the exposure will vary depending on the
software involved.
