NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng1.6 package and not the libpng1.6 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the png_set_unknown_chunks function in libpng/pngset.c in libpng before 1.5.14beta08 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
