CVE-2011-2501: Out-of-bounds Read
(updated )
The png_format_buffer function in pngerror.c in libpng allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PNG image that triggers an out-of-bounds read during the copying of error-message data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2004-0421 regression. NOTE: this is called an off-by-one error by some sources.
