CVE-2015-8472: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

January 21, 2016 (updated November 4, 2017)

Buffer overflow in the png_set_PLTE function in libpng allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a small bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8126.
