Several different security vulnerabilities were found in the PNG library which is used by applications to support the PNG image format. A remote attacker would be able to execute arbitrary code by triggering a buffer overflow due to the incorrect handling of the length of transparency chunk data and in other pathes of image processing. A special PNG image can be used to cause an application crashing due to NULL pointer dereference in the function png_handle_iCPP() (and other locations). Integer overflows were found in png_handle_sPLT(), png_read_png() functions and other locations. These bugs may at least crash an application. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14206 published 2004-08-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14206 title SUSE-SA:2004:023: libpng NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-402.NASL description Updated libpng packages that fix several issues are now available.

This library contains a buffer overflow which may lead to arbitrary code execution. If a user imports a forged Certificate Authority (CA) certificate, it may overwrite and corrupt the valid CA already installed on the machine. Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and other gecko-based browsers also contain a bug in their caching which may allow the SSL icon to remain visible, even when the site in question is an insecure site. Impact : Users of Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and other gecko-based browsers are susceptible to SSL certificate spoofing, a Denial of Service against legitimate SSL sites, crashes, and arbitrary code execution.
