Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in OptiPNG might result in user-assisted execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller
size, without losing any information.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/optipng < 0.6.2-r1 >= 0.6.2-r1
Description
===========
Roy Tam reported a use-after-free vulnerability in the
GIFReadNextExtension() function in lib/pngxtern/gif/gifread.c leading
to a memory corruption when reading a GIF image.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
GIF image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OptiPNG users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/optipng-0.6.2-r1"
