Description Andrej Nemec 2016-04-14 09:26:27 EDT

Off-by-one error in the bmp_rle4_fread 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, which triggers a
heap-based buffer overflow.
