The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200407-06 (libpng: Buffer overflow on row buffers)
Due to a wrong calculation of loop offset values, libpng contains a buffer overflow vulnerability on the row buffers. This vulnerability was initially patched in January 2003 but since it has been discovered that libpng contains the same vulnerability in two other places.
Impact :
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause programs linked against the library to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the vulnerable program, which could be the root user.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version.
