Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-11-13 13:52:04 UTC
From ${URL} :

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in functions png_get_PLTE/png_set_PLTE, allowing remote attackers 
to cause DoS to application or have unspecified other impact. These functions failed to check for 
an out-of-range palette when reading or writing PNG files with a bit_depth less than 8. Some 
applications might read the bit depth from the IHDR chunk and allocate memory for a 2^N entry 
palette, while libpng can return a palette with up to 256 entries even when the bit depth is less 
than 8.

Affected versions of libpng are before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x 
before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19.

Most of these have no stable keywords on this SLOT.

This is probably the SLOT you want those stable keywords on.

Ping on sparc stabilization, only one holding this down.

At the same time filing for glsa so can write it up.
