Fedora 33 FEDORA-2021-674d704f6c Moderate: PNGCheck Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey February 8, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Recent updates to pngcheck in Fedora 33 improve security measures, tackling significant vulnerabilities in the processing of image files.
Buffer overflow fixes: 1

Summary

pngcheck verifies the integrity of PNG, JNG and MNG files (by checking the

internal 32-bit CRCs [checksums] and decompressing the image data); it can

optionally dump almost all of the chunk-level information in the image in

human-readable form. For example, it can be used to print the basic statistics

about an image (dimensions, bit depth, etc.); to list the color and

transparency info in its palette (assuming it has one); or to extract the

embedded text annotations. This is a command-line program with batch

capabilities.

The current release supports all PNG, MNG and JNG chunks, including the newly

approved sTER stereo-layout chunk. It correctly reports errors in all but two

of the images in Chris Nokleberg's brokensuite-20061204.

Buffer overflow fixes: 1. Fix buffer overflow on large MNG LOOP chunk

(RHBZ#1908559). 2. Fix a buffer overrun for certain invalid MNG PPLT chunk

contents (RHBZ#1907428).
