Description
- Previous versions of the libpng package contain a weakness in
- processing images that is known to create a denial of service
- vulnerability and is expected also to allow unauthorized access.
- This weakness is triggered by malformed png images that may be
- provided to applications such as web browsers by an attacker.
- The initial update for this security issue provided a symlink to
- a version of the libpng library that could fail when building
- software packages that otherwise would build for rPath Linux 1.
- The update to libpng=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/1.2.12-4-0.1
- resolves that incompatibility.
