Descriptions

In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is also a heap-based buffer over-read.)

En la versión 2.1 de AdvanceCOMP, png_compress en pngex.cc en advpng tiene un desbordamiento de enteros, al encontrarse con un tamaño de PNG inválido, lo que conduce a que un memcpy intente escribirse en un búfer que es demasiado pequeño. (Hay, también, una sobrelectura de búfer basada en memoria dinámica o heap).

USN-3936-1 fixed a vulnerability in AdvanceCOMP. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 19.04. It was discovered that AdvanceCOMP incorrectly handled certain PNG files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
