Subject Versions:        * <= 1.2.16

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2007-2445
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network
Attack Impact:           denial of service

Description:
    As confirmed by the vendor, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability
    exists in the PNG [0] image format library libpng [1]. The bug is
    a NULL-pointer-dereference vulnerability involving palette images
    with a malformed "tRNS" PNG chunk, i.e., one with a bad CRC value.
    This bug can, at a minimum, cause crashes in applications simply by
    displaying a malformed image.
