NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream optipng package and not the optipng package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bmp_read_rows function in pngxtern/pngxrbmp.c in OptiPNG before 0.7.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory write and crash) via a series of delta escapes in a crafted BMP image.
