  <title>libpng: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libpng which can
    allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service condition.

    <package name="media-libs/libpng" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">1.6.10</unaffected>
      <unaffected range="lt">1.3</unaffected>

  <background>
    <p>libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network
      Graphics) images. It is used by several programs, including web browsers
      and potentially server processes.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>The png_push_read_chunk function in pngpread.c in the progressive
      decoder enters an infinite loop, when it encounters a zero-length IDAT
      chunk. In addition certain integer overflows have been detected and
      corrected.
    </p>
    
    <p>The 1.2 branch is not affected by these vulnerabilities.</p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG
      file using an application linked against libpng, possibly resulting in
      Denial of Service. 
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.6.10"
    </code>
    
    <p>Users with current installs in the 1.5 branch should also upgrade this
      using:</p>
      <code>
        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.5.18:1.5"
      </code>
      
      <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
        such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
      </p>
