Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2016-365-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libpng' package(s) announced via the SSA:2016-365-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libpng' package(s) announced via the SSA:2016-365-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New libpng packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/libpng-1.6.27-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes an old NULL pointer dereference bug in png_set_text_2() discovered and patched by Patrick Keshishian. The potential 'NULL dereference' bug has existed in libpng since version 0.71 of June 26, 1995. To be vulnerable, an application has to load a text chunk into the png structure, then delete all text, then add another text chunk to the same png structure, which seems to be an unlikely sequence, but it has happened. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'libpng' package(s) on Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
