Fedora 34: 2021-3f001ba18b Critical: Pngcheck Undefined Behavior

fedora
Calendar Grey May 4, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Latest pngcheck update resolves potential issues arising from corrupted PNG files on Fedora 34. Key information and enhancements detailed below.
New upstream release 3.0.3

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.

New upstream release 3.0.3. Fixes #1949800, in which certain invalid PNG data

could cause an integer division-by-zero, invoking undefined behavior.
