Fedora 1.2.2-20 Critical: Libpng Information Leak Out-of-Bounds Read

fedora
Calendar Grey May 14, 2004
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian Security Advisory for libjpeg 9b addresses a critical flaw resulting from a buffer overflow, which could allow unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Fixes a possible out-of-bounds read in the error message handler.

Summary

The libpng package contains a library of functions for creating and

manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files. PNG

is a bit-mapped graphics format similar to the GIF format. PNG was

created to replace the GIF format, since GIF uses a patented data

compression algorithm.

Libpng should be installed if you need to manipulate PNG format image

files.
