Red Hat: libpng Buffer overflow vulnerabilities
Summary
Summary
The libpng package contains a library of functions for creating andmanipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files.During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered several buffer overflowsin libpng. An attacker could create a carefully crafted PNG file in such away that it would cause an application linked with libpng to executearbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The CommonVulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the nameCAN-2004-0597 to these issues. In addition, this audit discovered a potential NULL pointer dereference inlibpng (CAN-2004-0598) and several integer overflow issues (CAN-2004-0599).An attacker could create a carefully crafted PNG file in such a way thatit would cause an application linked with libpng to crash when the file wasopened by the victim.Red Hat would like to thank Chris Evans for discovering these issues.For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 these patches also include a morecomplete fix for the out of bounds memory access flaw (CAN-2002-1363). All users are advised to update to the updated libpng packages whichcontain backported security patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.
