+ libpng is a free ANSI C library used to process and manipulate PNG + images. +

+
+ +

+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that a + vulnerability exists in the sPLT chunk handling code of libpng, a large + sPLT chunk may cause an application to attempt to read out of bounds. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could craft an image that when processed or viewed by + an application using libpng causes the application to terminate + abnormally. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.13" +
