<background>
<p>
libpng is an open, extensible image format library, with lossless
compression.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
In pngrutil.c, the function png_decompress_chunk() allocates
insufficient space for an error message, potentially overwriting stack
data, leading to a buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
By enticing a user to load a maliciously crafted PNG image, an attacker
could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user, or crash the
application using the libpng library, such as the
emul-linux-x86-baselibs.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.2.12&quot;</code>
<p>
All AMD64 emul-linux-x86-baselibs users should also upgrade to the
latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.5.1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
