Mandrake Linux Advisory: libpng


______________________________________________________________________

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________

Package name:           libpng
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:049
Date:                   August 13th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A buffer overflow was found in the in the progressive reader of the PNG
 library when the PNG datastream contains more IDAT data than indicated
 by the IHDR chunk.  These deliberately malformed datastreams would
 crash applications thus potentially allowing an attacker to execute
 malicious code.  Many programs make use of the PNG libraries, including
 web browsers.  This overflow is corrected in versions 1.0.14 and 1.2.4
 of the PNG library.

 In order to have the system utilize the upgraded packages after the
 upgrade, you must restart all running applications that are linked to
 libpng.  You can obtain this list by executing "lsof|grep libpng" or
 "fuser -v /usr/lib/libpng.so".
