<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>
</background>
<description>
<p>The png_push_read_chunk function in pngpread.c in the progressive
decoder enters an infinite loop, when it encounters a zero-length IDAT
chunk. In addition certain integer overflows have been detected and
corrected.
</p>
<p>The 1.2 branch is not affected by these vulnerabilities.</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG
file using an application linked against libpng, possibly resulting in
Denial of Service.
</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 "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.6.10"
</code>
<p>Users with current installs in the 1.5 branch should also upgrade this
using:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.5.18:1.5"
</code>
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
