Fedora 15 : libpng10-1.0.58-1.fc15 (2012-3536)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 58373

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

A type conversion flaw leading to an out-of-bounds heap buffer read was found in the way libpng10, a library of functions for manipulation PNG image format files, performed expansion of certain iCCP, iTXt, and zTXt PNG image file chunks.

A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image file, which once opened in an application, linked against libpng10, could lead to denial of service or in some cases, execution of arbitrary code without permission of the user running such an application.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libpng10 package.
