Description
Multiple integer overflows in libpng before 1.5.14rc03 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted image to the (1) png_set_sPLT or (2) png_set_text_2 function, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Weaknesses
CWE · root cause- CWE-189Numeric ErrorsWeaknesses in this category are related to improper calculation or conversion of numbers.
- CWE-122Heap-based Buffer OverflowA heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
- CWE-190Integer Overflow or WraparoundThe product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
