Descriptions

Memory leak in the embedded_profile_len function in pngwutil.c in libpng before 1.2.39beta5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak or segmentation fault) via a JPEG image containing an iCCP chunk with a negative embedded profile length. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-7244.

Una pérdida de memoria en la función embedded_profile_len en el archivo pngwutil.c en libpng anterior a versión 1.2.39beta5, permite a los atacantes dependiendo del contexto causar una denegación de servicio (pérdida de memoria o fallo de segmentación) por medio de una imagen JPEG que contiene un fragmento iCCP con una longitud de perfil insertada negativa. NOTA: esto se debe a una corrección incompleta para CVE-2006-7244.
