Descriptions

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.

Determinados manejadores de fragmentos en libpng anterior a 1.0.29 y 1.2.x anterior a 1.2.21 permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) mediante fragmentación manipulada (1) pCAL (png_handle_pCAL), (2) sCAL (png_handle_sCAL), (3) tEXt (png_push_read_tEXt), (4) iTXt (png_handle_iTXt), y (5) ztXT (png_handle_ztXt) en imágenes PNG, lo cual dispara operaciones de lectura fuera de límite.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries, the worst of which may allow remote execution of arbitrary code. Versions prior to 20140406-r1 are affected.
