(Red Hat Issues Fix for Mozilla Seamonkey) libpng Chunk Decompression Heap Overflow Lets Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1026702
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1026702
CVE Reference:   CVE-2011-3026   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Feb 17 2012
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  

Description:   A vulnerability was reported in libpng. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. Mozilla Seamonkey is affected.

The software does not properly verify a size value when allocating memory during chunk decompression. A remote user can create a specially crafted PNG image file that, when loaded by the target user or application, will trigger a heap overflow in png_decompress_chunk() and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user or application.

The vulnerability resides in 'pngrutil.c'.

Jueri Aedla reported this vulnerability.

Impact:   A remote user can create a PNG image file that, when loaded by the target user or application, will execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Solution:   Red Hat has issued a fix for Mozilla Seamonkey.

The Red Hat advisory is available at:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0141.html

Cause:   Boundary error
Underlying OS:   Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)
