Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

libpng could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - libpng: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file library

Details:

It was discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.46-3ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 11.04:
libpng12-0 1.2.44-1ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 10.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.44-1ubuntu0.4

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.42-1ubuntu2.5

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3ubuntu0.7

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all the necessary changes.
