Package(s):libpng CVE #(s):CVE-2007-5266 CVE-2007-5267 CVE-2007-5268 CVE-2007-5269
Created:October 19, 2007 Updated:March 23, 2009
Description: Certain chunk handlers in libpng before 1.0.29 and 1.2.x before 1.2.21 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted (1) pCAL (png_handle_pCAL), (2) sCAL (png_handle_sCAL), (3) tEXt (png_push_read_tEXt), (4) iTXt (png_handle_iTXt), and (5) ztXT (png_handle_ztXt) chunking in PNG images, which trigger out-of-bounds read operations. (CVE-2007-5269)

pngrtran.c in libpng before 1.0.29 and 1.2.x before 1.2.21 use (1) logical instead of bitwise operations and (2) incorrect comparisons, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG image. (CVE-2007-5268)

Off-by-one error in ICC profile chunk handling in the png_set_iCCP function in pngset.c in libpng before 1.2.22 beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG image, due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2007-5266. (CVE-2007-5267)

Off-by-one error in ICC profile chunk handling in the png_set_iCCP function in pngset.c in libpng before 1.0.29 beta1 and 1.2.x before 1.2.21 beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG image that prevents a name field from being NULL terminated. (CVE-2007-5266)
