Description :
The libpng10 package contains an old version of libpng, a library of functions

Update Information:

This update addresses two security issues:    * CVE-2010-1205, in which a buffer
overflow might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG image
that triggers an additional data row.    * CVE-2010-2249, in which a memory leak
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and
application crash) via a PNG image containing malformed Physical Scale (aka
sCAL) chunks.
