Fedora 32 : pngcheck (2020-daffd78c3d)

high Nessus Plugin ID 144577

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Previous fix for buffer overrun printing the contents of the sPLT chunk in certain malformed inputs (RHBZ#1905775) was incomplete; it should be properly fixed now.

----

Security fix for multiple buffer overflows from crafted file input (RHBZ#1902786,1902806,1902810: no CVE yet assigned), and for buffer overrun printing the contents of the sPLT chunk in certain malformed inputs (RHBZ#1905775: no tracking bug or CVE yet assigned); also, new eXIf support and assorted small bug fixes

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

Solution

Update the affected pngcheck package.
