Date: May 11, 2008
Bug(s): #219033

Synopsis
A vulnerability in Pngcrush might result in user-assisted execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
Pngcrush is a multi platform optimizer for PNG (Portable Network
Graphics) files.
Affected Packages

Vulnerable: < 1.6.4-r1

Description
It has been reported that Pngcrush includes a copy of libpng that is
vulnerable to a memory corruption (GLSA 200804-15).
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
PNG image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
Service.
Workaround
