A new security patch has been made to the libpng library, which has been uploaded to the AIX Toolbox site. Note that this is *not* a new version of libpng; it is simply a patch to the existing 1.2.1 version in the Toolbox. (1.2.5 is their latest, but they have provided patches for many libpng versions.) The libpng home page is: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html For security-related details, see: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA04-217A.html You should check and see if you have libpng installed on your system. If so, it is recommended that you install this updated revision: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/libpng/libpng-1.2.1-6.aix5.1.ppc.rpm and if you the corresponding development package libpng-devel, the update is: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/libpng/libpng-devel-1.2.1-6.aix5.1.ppc.rpm |
