This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: libpng security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:0333-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009:0333.html Issue date: 2009-03-04 CVE Names: CVE-2008-1382 CVE-2009-0040 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated libpng and libpng10 packages that fix a couple of security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 4, and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 3. Description: The libpng packages contain a library of functions for creating and manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files. A flaw was discovered in libpng that could result in libpng trying to free() random memory if certain, unlikely error conditions occurred. If a carefully-crafted PNG file was loaded by an applicationlinked against libpng, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2009-0040) A flaw was discovered in the way libpng handled PNG images containing "unknown" chunks. If an application linked against libpng attempted to process a malformed, unknown chunk in a malicious PNG image, it could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2008-1382) Users of libpng and libpng10 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications using libpng or libpng10 must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 441839 - CVE-2008-1382 libpng unknown chunk handling flaw 486355 - CVE-2009-0040 libpng arbitrary free() flaw 6.
