NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream exiv2 package and not the exiv2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In Exiv2 0.26 and previous versions, PngChunk::readRawProfile in pngchunk_int.cpp may cause a denial of service (application crash due to a heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted PNG file.
