In addition to the advisory DSA 140-1 the packages below fix another
potential buffer overflow. The PNG libraries implement a safety
margin which is also included in a newer upstream release. Thanks to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson for informing us.
This problem has been fixed in version 1.0.12-3.woody.2 of libpng and
version 1.2.1-1.1.woody.2 of libpng3 for the current stable
distribution (woody).
We recommend that you upgrade your libpng packages.
