*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: libpng12-0 Description from the NVD: "The png_check_keyword function in pngwutil.c in libpng before 1.0.42, and 1.2.x before 1.2.34, might allow context-dependent attackers to set the value of an arbitrary memory location to zero via vectors involving creation of crafted PNG files with keywords, related to an implicit cast of the '\0' character constant to a NULL pointer. NOTE: some sources incorrectly report this as a double free vulnerability." http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2008-5907 ** Affects: libpng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Visibility changed to: Public ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-5907 ** Summary changed: - [CVE-2008-5907] libpng: png_check_keyword() in pngwutil.c might allow to overwrite arbitrary memory + [CVE-2008-5907] libpng: png_check_keyword() in pngwutil.c might allow to overwrite arbitrary memory location ** Summary changed: - [CVE-2008-5907] libpng: png_check_keyword() in pngwutil.c might allow to overwrite arbitrary memory location + [CVE-2008-5907] libpng: png_check_keyword() in pngwutil.c might allow overwriting arbitrary memory location -- [CVE-2008-5907] libpng: png_check_keyword() in pngwutil.c might allow overwriting arbitrary memory location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
