CVE-2009-2042

libpng < 1.2.37 - Memory Information Disclosure via 1-bit Interlaced Image Parsing

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

libpng before 1.2.37 does not properly parse 1-bit interlaced images with width values that are not divisible by 8, which causes libpng to include uninitialized bits in certain rows of a PNG file and might allow remote attackers to read portions of sensitive memory via "out-of-bounds pixels" in the file.
