+ An off-by-one error when handling ICC profile chunks in the
+ png_set_iCCP() function was discovered (CVE-2007-5266). George Cook and
+ Jeff Phillips reported several errors in pngrtran.c, the use of logical
+ instead of a bitwise functions and incorrect comparisons
+ (CVE-2007-5268). Tavis Ormandy reported out-of-bounds read errors in
+ several PNG chunk handling functions (CVE-2007-5269).

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft an image that when processed or viewed by
+ an application using libpng would cause the application to terminate
+ abnormally.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.2.21-r3"</code>
