Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

POV-Ray includes a version of libpng that might allow for the execution
of arbitrary code when reading a specially crafted PNG file

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

POV-Ray is a well known open-source ray tracer.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

      -------------------------------------------------------------------=

       Package           /  Vulnerable  /                     Unaffected
      -------------------------------------------------------------------=

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

POV-Ray uses a statically linked copy of libpng to view and output PNG
files. The version shipped with POV-Ray is vulnerable to CVE-2008-3964,
CVE-2008-1382, CVE-2006-3334, CVE-2006-0481, CVE-2004-0768. A bug in
POV-Ray's build system caused it to load the old version when your
installed copy of libpng was >=3Dmedia-libs/libpng-1.2.10.

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

An attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted PNG file as
a texture, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running the application.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All POV-Ray users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-gfx/povray-3.6.1-r4"
