I did not intend to reveal the "crashing PNG" before
Firefox 3.5.7 had been released.

Hi Steve, vendors,

   libpng upstream has released latest v1.4.3 and v1.2.44 versions,
addressing two
security issues:
[a], out-of-bounds write to memory -- this already got a CVE id of
"CVE-2010-1205",
[b], memory-leak bug, involving images with malformed sCAL chunks,
which could
    lead to an application crash.

Steve, could you allocate a CVE id for the [b] issue?


Please use CVE-2010-2249 for issue [b].

oss-sec, png-mng-implement ... do you have testimages or a reproducer for the sCAL issue?

It would be helpful for our QA :/

As found on:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45983

The sample crashing PNG is:

Ciao, Marcus
