CVE-2015-7981

Publication date 26 October 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The png_convert_to_rfc1123 function in png.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.64, 1.2.x before 1.2.54, and 1.4.x before 1.4.17 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive process memory information via crafted tIME chunk data in an image file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
