Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libpng version 1.2.7

Description A heap-based buffer overflow issue exists in the alpha strip capability of libpng, allowing context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) when the png do strip filler function is used to strip alpha channels out of an image.

Recommendations For libpng version 1.2.7, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of a denial of service (crash) when using the png do strip filler function to strip alpha channels out of an image. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of the png do strip filler function until a patch is available.
