How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream optipng package and not the optipng package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the bmp_read_rows function in pngxrbmp.c in OptiPNG before 0.7.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write access and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted image file.
