The libpng packages offer the standard libraries for manipulating PNG files, a turbo-studly lossless image format. This is a security update for the backwards-compatibility 1.2.x version of this library.
NOTE TO MAINTAINERS: This DLL, cygpng12.dll, is now officially obsolete and there will be no further updates -- not even to resolve security issues. libpng14 has been available since August 2007 (five years), so it's high time those applications were recompiled against a more recent API version (at this time, libpng-1.5.x). The applications affected are: KDE/qt3/libqt3 plotutils/libplotter2 ploticus ming/libmingw0 fltk/libfltk1.1 fltk_gdi/libfltk1.1-gdi xemacs ImageMagick/libImageMagick1 bmp2png gnubg grace spamprobe libwmf/libwmf027 X11/xfig X11/libAfterImage/libAfterImage0 X11/XmHTML/libXmHTML0 hp2xx sng [[ compiled using gcc-4.5.3-3 ]] CHANGES (since 1.2.46-1) ======================== o update to latest official release of libpng-1.2.x o Security update: + CVE-2012-3386 + CVE-2011-3048 + CVE-2011-3026 o still using the non-autotools-driven build process o libpng12 now obsolete + libpng12-devel removed -- Charles Wilson volunteer libpng maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
