Discussion

Libpng Library Uninitialized Pointer Arrays Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

The 'libpng' library is prone to multiple memory-corruption vulnerabilities because it fails to properly initialize data structures.

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

These issues affect versions prior to 'libpng' 1.0.43 and 1.2.35.
