Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54120
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0004 (libpng)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0004.

The library libpng provides several functions to encode, decode and
manipulate Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image files.
Due to wrong calculation of some loop offset values a buffer overflow
can occur. The buffer overflow can lead to Denial-of-Service or even
to remote compromise.

After updating libpng all applications that use libpng should be
restarted. Due to the fact that a lot of applications are linked
with libpng it may be necessary to switch to runlevel S and back
to the previous runlevel or even to reboot the system.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
