Subject: CVE request: pngcrush-1.3.35 through 1.7.88 segfault when run with
"-loco" option
I am requsting a CVE for the following vulnerability in pngcrush.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Pngcrush versions 1.7.35 through 1.7.88 will segfault when run with
the "-loco" option and multiple trials. This is due to attempting to
write to a file that has not yet been opened.
The vulnerability can be exploited trivially to create a Denial of Service.
Remote exploit is possible if the application accepts remote input and
accepts the "-loco" option. No specially crafted PNG file is needed; any
valid PNG file can be used in an attack.
The bug was discovered by Brian Carpenter using AFL, and is fixed in
pngcrush-1.7.91, which was released on December 31, 2015.
