+ libpng is the official PNG reference library used to read, write and
+ manipulate PNG images.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Jeff Phillips discovered that libpng does not properly parse 1-bit
+ interlaced images with width values that are not divisible by 8, which
+ causes libpng to include uninitialized bits in certain rows of a PNG
+ file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker might entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG
+ file, possibly resulting in the disclosure of sensitive memory
+ portions.
+ </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-1.2.37"</code>
