Background ========= Pngcrush is a multi platform optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/pngcrush < 1.6.4-r1 > = 1.6.4-r1 Description ========== It has been reported that Pngcrush includes a copy of libpng that is vulnerable to a memory corruption (GLSA 200804-15). Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted PNG image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Pngcrush users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-gfx/pngcrush-1.6.4-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2008-1382 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-1382 [ 2 ] GLSA 200804-15 https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200804-15 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200805-10 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
