+  <background>
+    <p>
+    libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network
+    Graphics) images.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    libpng provides two functions (png_chunk_error and png_chunk_warning) for
+    default error and warning messages handling. These functions do not perform
+    proper bounds checking on the provided message, which is limited to 64
+    bytes. Programs linked against this library may crash when handling a
+    malicious PNG image.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    This vulnerability could be used to crash various programs using the libpng
+    library, potentially resulting in a denial of service attack on vulnerable
+    daemon processes.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+    to the latest available version of libpng.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users of libpng should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r5"
+    # emerge "&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r5"</code>
+    <p>
+    You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend on
+    older versions of libpng :
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # revdep-rebuild</code>
