{"id":"USN-8035-1","summary":"libpng1.6 vulnerabilities","details":"It was discovered that the libpng simplified API incorrectly processed\npalette PNG images with partial transparency and gamma correction. If a\nuser or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PNG\nfile, an attacker could use this issue to cause libpng to crash, resulting\nin a denial of service. (CVE-2025-66293)\n\nPetr Simecek, Stanislav Fort and Pavel Kohout discovered that the libpng\nsimplified API incorrectly processed interlaced 16-bit PNGs with 8-bit\noutput format and non-minimal row strides. If a user or automated system\nwere tricked into opening a specially crafted PNG file, an attacker could\nuse this issue to cause libpng to crash, resulting in a denial of service.\n(CVE-2026-22695)\n\nCosmin Truta discovered that the libpng simplified API incorrectly handled\ninvalid row strides. If a user or automated system were tricked into\nopening a specially crafted PNG file, an attacker could use this issue to\ncause libpng to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only\naffected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-22801)\n\nIt was discovered that the libpng simplified API incorrectly handled\nquantizing RGB images.
