Comment 1 David Walser 2012-04-01 20:50:22 CEST
Funda Wang has built an update for Mageia 1.  Cauldron has not been updated yet.

Advisory:
========================

Updated libpng packages fix security vulnerability:

libpng versions prior to 1.5.10, 1.4.11, 1.2.49, and 1.0.59
fail to correctly handle malloc() failure for text chunks
(in png_set_text_2()), which can lead to memory corruption and
the possibility of execution of hostile code (CVE-2011-3048).
