Multiple vulnerabilties have been found in libpng, the official PNG
reference library, allowing information disclosure via out-of-bounds
read, denial of service via application crash, or heap corruption with
potential for arbitrary code execution.

  Heap buffer over-read in png_write_image_8bit

CVE-2025-64720

  Buffer overflow in png_image_read_composite via incorrect palette
  premultiplication

CVE-2025-65018

  Heap buffer overflow in png_combine_row triggered via
  png_image_finish_read

CVE-2025-66293

  An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libpng's simplified API allows
  reading up to 1012 bytes beyond the png_sRGB_base[512] array when
  processing palette PNG images with partial transparency and gamma
  correction

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1.6.37-3+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpng1.6 packages.
