3. Description:

 

The libpng packages contain a library of functions for creating and

manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files.

 

A flaw was discovered in libpng that could result in libpng trying to

free() random memory if certain, unlikely error conditions occurred. If a

carefully-crafted PNG file was loaded by an application linked against

libpng, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

(CVE-2009-0040)

 

A flaw was discovered in the way libpng handled PNG images containing

"unknown" chunks. If an application linked against libpng attempted to

process a malformed, unknown chunk in a malicious PNG image, it could cause

the application to crash. (CVE-2008-1382)

 

Users of libpng and libpng10 should upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running

applications using libpng or libpng10 must be restarted for the update to

take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

441839 - CVE-2008-1382 libpng unknown chunk handling flaw
