Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67361
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Ports: png
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following package is affected: png

CVE-2010-0205
The png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before
1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly
handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately
large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application
hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate
compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same
character, related to a 'decompression bomb' attack.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.

CVSS Score:
