DSA-1750 libpng -- several vulnerabilities

ID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:6557Date: (C)2009-12-04   (M)2024-02-15
Class: PATCHFamily: unix




Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng, a library for reading and writing PNG files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: The png_handle_tRNS function allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a grayscale PNG image with a bad tRNS chunk CRC value. Certain chunk handlers allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted pCAL, sCAL, tEXt, iTXt, and ztXT chunking in PNG images, which trigger out-of-bounds read operations. libpng allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PNG file with zero length "unknown" chunks, which trigger an access of uninitialized memory. The png_check_keyword might allow context-dependent attackers to set the value of an arbitrary memory location to zero via vectors involving creation of crafted PNG files with keywords. A memory leak in the png_handle_tEXt function allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted PNG file. libpng allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer in (1) the png_read_png function, (2) pCAL chunk handling, or (3) setup of 16-bit gamma tables.
