Matt Sarett9ea75692016-01-08 13:00:42 -050025Changes since the last public release (1.6.19):
26 Avoid potential pointer overflow/underflow in png_handle_sPLT() and
27 png_handle_pCAL() (Bug report by John Regehr).
28 Fixed incorrect implementation of png_set_PLTE() that uses png_ptr
29 not info_ptr, that left png_set_PLTE() open to the CVE-2015-8126
30 vulnerability.
31 Backported tests from libpng-1.7.0beta69.
32 Fixed an error in handling of bad zlib CMINFO field in pngfix, found by
33 American Fuzzy Lop, reported by Brian Carpenter. inflate() doesn't
34 immediately fault a bad CMINFO field; instead a 'too far back' error
35 happens later (at least some times). pngfix failed to limit CMINFO to
36 the allowed values but then assumed that window_bits was in range,
37 triggering an assert. The bug is mostly harmless; the PNG file cannot
38 be fixed.
39 In libpng 1.6 zlib initialization was changed to use the window size
40 in the zlib stream, not a fixed value. This causes some invalid images,
41 where CINFO is too large, to display 'correctly' if the rest of the
42 data is valid. This provides a workaround for zlib versions where the
43 error arises (ones that support the API change to use the window size
44 in the stream).
