A vulnerability was found in libpng up to 1.6.18 (Image Processing Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function png_set_PLTE/png_get_PLTE
of the component PNG Image Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2) png_get_PLTE functions in libpng 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 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a small bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image.
The weakness was released 11/13/2015 by Glenn Randers-Pehrson (Website). The advisory is available at ubuntu.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2015-8126 since 11/12/2015.
