NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng12-devel package and not the libpng12-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The png_convert_to_rfc1123 function in png.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.64, 1.2.x before 1.2.54, and 1.4.x before 1.4.17 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive process memory information via crafted tIME chunk data in an image file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
