A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in libpng in the png_push_save_buffer function. In order to be vulnerable, an application has to load a text chunk into the PNG structure, then delete all text, then add another text chunk to the same PNG structure, which seems to be an unlikely sequence, but it is possible.
Impact :
A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted PNG file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
