Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69949
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 14 FEDORA-2011-8867 (libpng10)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to libpng10
announced via advisory FEDORA-2011-8867.

Update Information:

This update fixes a 1-byte uninitialized memory reference in png_format_buffer(). It allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed PNG image file that triggers an error that causes an out-of-bounds read when creating the error message. This is CVE-2011-2501.

Also fixed in this release are some other minor security problems and there's additionally a bugfix backported from 1.5.3: when expanding a paletted image, always expand to RGBA if transparency is present.
