CVE-2014-9495 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:14.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng package and not the libpng package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the png_combine_row function in libpng before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.16, when running on 64-bit systems, might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "very wide interlaced" PNG image.
