libpng is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as a buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libpng processed certain PNG image files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PNG image that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
