    <p>
    An off-by-one error when handling ICC profile chunks in the
    png_set_iCCP() function was discovered (CVE-2007-5266). George Cook and
    Jeff Phillips reported several errors in pngrtran.c, the use of logical
    instead of a bitwise functions and incorrect comparisons
    (CVE-2007-5268). Tavis Ormandy reported out-of-bounds read errors in
    several PNG chunk handling functions (CVE-2007-5269).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could craft an image that when processed or viewed by
    an application using libpng would cause the application to terminate
    abnormally.
    </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-1.2.21-r3&quot;</code>
