Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 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:

Mikulas Patocka discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain large fields. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause libpng to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-3425)

Qixue Xiao discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain time values. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause libpng to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7981)

It was discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain small bit-depth values. 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. (CVE-2015-8126)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.51-0ubuntu3.15.10.1

Ubuntu 15.04:
libpng12-0 1.2.51-0ubuntu3.15.04.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.50-1ubuntu2.14.04.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.46-3ubuntu4.1

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