NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng package and not the libpng package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The png_push_read_chunk function in pngpread.c in the progressive decoder in libpng 1.6.x through 1.6.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via an IDAT chunk with a length of zero.
