Descriptions

Buffer overflow in pngpread.c in libpng before 1.2.44 and 1.4.x before 1.4.3, as used in progressive applications, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG image that triggers an additional data row.

Desbordamiento de buffer en el fichero pngpread.c en libpng anteriores a 1.2.44 y 1.4.x anteriroes a 1.4.3, como se utiliza en aplicaciones progresivas, podría permitir a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario mediante una imagen PNG que desencadena una serie de datos adicionales.

This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2011. The worst of these vulnerabilities could lead to local privilege escalation and remote code execution.
