Discussion

Retired: Libpng Library Grayscale Image CRC Check Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The libpng library is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the library fails to handle malicious PNG files.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions on computers running the affected library.

This issue affects libpng-0.90 through libpng-1.2.16.

This BID is being retired because this issue was addressed in BID 24000 (Libpng Library Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability).
