Severity: Medium
Published: Jan 18, 2015, 6:59:03 PM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 4.14% · Oct 25, 2026

Buffer overflow in the png_read_IDAT_data function in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.16 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via IDAT data with a large width, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9495.
