| Changes since the last public release (1.6.19): |
| |
| Version 1.6.20beta01 [November 20, 2015] |
| Avoid potential pointer overflow/underflow in png_handle_sPLT() and |
| png_handle_pCAL() (Bug report by John Regehr). |
| |
| Version 1.6.20beta02 [November 23, 2015] |
| Fixed incorrect implementation of png_set_PLTE() that uses png_ptr |
| not info_ptr, that left png_set_PLTE() open to the CVE-2015-8126 |
| vulnerability. |
| |
| Version 1.6.20beta03 [November 24, 2015] |
| Backported tests from libpng-1.7.0beta69. |
| |
| Version 1.6.20rc01 [November 26, 2015] |
| Fixed an error in handling of bad zlib CMINFO field in pngfix, found by |
| American Fuzzy Lop, reported by Brian Carpenter. inflate() doesn't |
| immediately fault a bad CMINFO field; instead a 'too far back' error |
| happens later (at least some times). pngfix failed to limit CMINFO to |
| the allowed values but then assumed that window_bits was in range, |
| triggering an assert. The bug is mostly harmless; the PNG file cannot |
| be fixed. |
| |
| Version 1.6.20rc02 [November 29, 2015] |
| In libpng 1.6 zlib initialization was changed to use the window size |
| in the zlib stream, not a fixed value. This causes some invalid images, |
| where CINFO is too large, to display 'correctly' if the rest of the |
| data is valid. This provides a workaround for zlib versions where the |
| error arises (ones that support the API change to use the window size |
| in the stream). |
