A 16-bit greyscale PNG without alpha is processed in the following loop:
for (i = 0; i < (data->image_width * data->image_height);
i++, d1 += 4, d2 += 2)
{
d1[R3] = d2[1];
d1[G3] = d2[1];
d1[B3] = d2[1];
}
The increment of d1 is wrong. d1 is incremented by 4 bytes per iteration,
but there are only 3 bytes allocated for storage. This means that image
data will overwrite somewhat-attacker-controlled parts of memory - 3 bytes
out of every 4 following the end of the image.
This has existed since greyscale support was added in 2013 in commit
3ccf16dff98f (grub-core/video/readers/png.c: Support grayscale).
Saving starfield.png as a 16-bit greyscale image without alpha in the gimp
and attempting to load it causes grub-emu to crash - I don't think this code
has ever worked.
Delete all PNG greyscale support.
