Version : 1.0.66
Release : 1.el6

Summary : Old version of libpng, needed to run old binaries
Description :
The libpng10 package contains an old version of libpng, a library of functions
for creating and manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format
files.
This package is needed if you want to run binaries that were linked dynamically
with libpng 1.0.x.

Update Information:
An underflow read was found in png_check_keyword in libpng10. An attacker could
possibly use this flaw to cause an out-of-bounds read by tricking an
unsuspecting user into processing a specially crafted PNG image. ---- The fix
for CVE-8126 was incomplete in the previous 1.0.64 update.
