Package description:

(Portable Network Graphics) image format files.
Problem description:
This update fixed the following security vulnerabilities:
CAN-2004-0597 - Multiple buffer overflows exist, including when
handling transparency chunk data, which could be exploited to cause
arbitrary code to be executed when a specially crafted PNG image is
processed
CAN-2004-0598 - Multiple NULL pointer dereferences in
png_handle_iCPP() and elsewhere could be exploited to cause an
application to crash when a specially crafted PNG image is processed
CAN-2004-0599 - Multiple integer overflows in png_handle_sPLT(),
png_read_png() nctions and elsewhere could be exploited to cause an
application to crash, or potentially arbitrary code to be executed,
when a specially crafted PNG image is processed
CAN-2004-0768 - A buffer overflow could be caused by incorrect
calculation of buffer offsets, possibly leading to the execution of
arbitrary code
