Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for libpng1.6.
CVE-2026-33636[0]:
| LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read,
| create, and manipulate PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image
| files. In versions 1.6.36 through 1.6.55, an out-of-bounds read and
| write exists in libpng's ARM/AArch64 Neon-optimized palette
| expansion path. When expanding 8-bit paletted rows to RGB or RGBA,
| the Neon loop processes a final partial chunk without verifying that
| enough input pixels remain. Because the implementation works
| backward from the end of the row, the final iteration dereferences
| pointers before the start of the row buffer (OOB read) and writes
| expanded pixel data to the same underflowed positions (OOB write).
| This is reachable via normal decoding of attacker-controlled PNG
| input if Neon is enabled. Version 1.6.56 fixes the issue.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
