CVE-2006-5793

Publication date 17 November 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

The sPLT chunk handling code (png_set_sPLT function in pngset.c) in libpng 1.0.6 through 1.2.12 uses a sizeof operator on the wrong data type, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed sPLT chunks that trigger an out-of-bounds read.

Fixed 1.2.15~beta5-1ubuntu1
6.10 edgy
Fixed 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.2
