[slackware-security] libpng update (SSA:2004-124-04)
New libpng packages are available for Slackware 9.0, 9.1, and -current to
fix an issue where libpng could be caused to crash, perhaps creating a denial
of service issue if network services are linked with it.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
