Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New libpng packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, and -current to fix security issues. These issues could cause program crashes, or possibly allow arbitrary code embedded in a malicious PNG image to execute. The PNG library is widely used within the system, so all sites should upgrade to the new libpng package.

Solution

Update the affected libpng package.
