NVD Description

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

In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is also a heap-based buffer over-read.)
