Memory leak in the png_handle_tEXt function in pngrutil.c in libpng before
1.2.33 rc02 and 1.4.0 beta36 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted PNG file.

Notes

Author Note
jdstrand Ubuntu versions should not be affected because they do not use png_ptr->chunkdata. This member wasn’t introduced until 1.2.30.
