CVE-2026-40930

MEDIUM CVSS: 5.4 Published: 2026-06-04 Modified: 2026-07-22

Description

LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that process PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image files. In version 1.8.0, three inter-frame chunk discard paths in the push-mode APNG parser clear the chunk-header flag without consuming the chunk body and CRC, allowing attacker-controlled bytes inside an ignored ancillary chunk to be reinterpreted as a fresh chunk header on the next call to `png_process_data`. Commit faf06924688b62d7c1654b5ceddedbde66ffadb4 fixes the issue.
