Descriptions
Integer signedness error in the png_inflate function in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.4.10beta01, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.83 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3026.
El error de signo de entero en pngrutil.c en libpng antes v1.4.10beta01, tal y como se utiliza en Google Chrome antes de v17.0.963.83 y otros productos, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo PNG especificamente diseñado para este fin. Se trata de una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2011-3026.
The libpng packages contain a library of functions for creating and manipulating PNG image format files. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libpng processed compressed chunks in PNG image files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PNG image file that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Users of libpng should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, they contain a backported patch. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, they upgrade libpng to version 1.2.48. All running applications using libpng must be restarted for the update to take effect.
