  <background>
    <p>libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network
      Graphics) images. It is used by several programs, including web browsers
      and potentially server processes.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>The png_user_version_check function contains an out-of-bounds memory
        access error (libpng 1.6.15 Release Notes)
      </li>
      <li>The png_combine_row function contains an integer overflow error,
        which could result in a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2014-9495)
      </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
      crafted PNG file using an application linked against libpng, possibly
      resulting in execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libpng 1.6 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.6.16"
    </code>
    
    <p>All libpng 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.5.21"
    </code>
