CVE-2011-2501
First published: Mon Jun 27 2011(Updated: )
It was reported [1] that the fix for <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2004-0421">CVE-2004-0421</a> in libpng was inadvertently reverted during the 1.2.23 development cycle. The original flaw could be used to cause a denial of service via a carefully-crafted PNG image. This would affect all versions of libpng >=1.2.23, including 1.4.x and 1.5.x.
