NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in Eye of GNOME (eog). A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the PNG metadata reader due to improper state handling when parsing split metadata chunks. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by enticing a user into opening a specially crafted PNG file, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) via application crash.
