libpng (SSA:2026-014-01)


libpng (SSA:2026-014-01)

New libpng packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/libpng-1.6.54-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Heap buffer over-read in the libpng simplified API function
png_image_finish_read() when processing interlaced 16-bit PNGs with 8-bit
output format and non-minimal row stride.
Integer truncation in the libpng simplified write API functions
png_write_image_16bit() and png_write_image_8bit() causes heap buffer
over-read when the caller provides a negative row stride (for bottom-up
image layouts) or a stride exceeding 65535 bytes.
