    Description:
      According to a Debian security advisory based on hints from Glenn
      Randers-Pehrson [0], a buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the
      Portable Network Graphics (PNG) library libpng [1] in connection with
      16-bit samples. The starting offsets for the loops are calculated
      incorrectly which may cause a buffer overrun beyond the beginning of
      the row buffer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
      assigned the id CAN-2002-1363 [2] to the problem.
    
      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm
      -qa png". If you have the "png" package installed and its version is
      affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
      (see Solution) and it's dependent packages (see above), if any, too.
      [3][4]
    
    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
      binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the
      following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
      other releases adjust accordingly).
    
      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
      ftp> get png-1.2.4-1.1.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig png-1.2.4-1.1.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild png-1.2.4-1.1.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/png-1.2.4-1.1.1.*.rpm
    
      Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
      all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [3][4]
