Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-25 16:22:11 UTC
Quoting http://optipng.sourceforge.net/:
All current OptiPNG versions are known to be vulnerable to memory reallocation attacks, due to a bug in the GIF image reader. (Many thanks to Roy Tam for the report, as well as the fix.)

CVE-2009-0749 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0749):
  Use-after-free vulnerability in the GIFReadNextExtension function in
  lib/pngxtern/gif/gifread.c in OptiPNG 0.6.2 and earlier allows
  context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application
  crash) via a crafted GIF image that causes the realloc function to
  return a new pointer, which triggers memory corruption when the old
  pointer is accessed.
