  <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>
