  1. Libpng 1.6.20 - December 3, 2015
  2. This is a public release of libpng, intended for use in production codes.
  3. Files available for download:
  4. Source files with LF line endings (for Unix/Linux) and with a
  5. "configure" script
  6. libpng-1.6.20.tar.xz (LZMA-compressed, recommended)
  7. libpng-1.6.20.tar.gz
  8. Source files with CRLF line endings (for Windows), without the
  9. "configure" script
  10. /scratch/glennrp/Libpng16/lpng1620.7z (LZMA-compressed, recommended)
  11. /scratch/glennrp/Libpng16/lpng1620.zip
  12. Other information:
  13. libpng-1.6.20-README.txt
  14. libpng-1.6.20-LICENSE.txt
  15. libpng-1.6.20-*.asc (armored detached GPG signatures)
  16. Changes since the last public release (1.6.19):
  17. Avoid potential pointer overflow/underflow in png_handle_sPLT() and
  18. png_handle_pCAL() (Bug report by John Regehr).
  19. Fixed incorrect implementation of png_set_PLTE() that uses png_ptr
  20. not info_ptr, that left png_set_PLTE() open to the CVE-2015-8126
  21. vulnerability.
  22. Backported tests from libpng-1.7.0beta69.
  23. Fixed an error in handling of bad zlib CMINFO field in pngfix, found by
  24. American Fuzzy Lop, reported by Brian Carpenter. inflate() doesn't
  25. immediately fault a bad CMINFO field; instead a 'too far back' error
  26. happens later (at least some times). pngfix failed to limit CMINFO to
  27. the allowed values but then assumed that window_bits was in range,
  28. triggering an assert. The bug is mostly harmless; the PNG file cannot
  29. be fixed.
  30. In libpng 1.6 zlib initialization was changed to use the window size
  31. in the zlib stream, not a fixed value. This causes some invalid images,
  32. where CINFO is too large, to display 'correctly' if the rest of the
  33. data is valid. This provides a workaround for zlib versions where the
  34. error arises (ones that support the API change to use the window size
  35. in the stream).
