Fedora: DEBIAN-2021-8495 Moderate: OpenSSL Critical Exposure

The libpng package contains a library of functions for creating and

manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files. PNG

is a bit-mapped graphics format similar to the GIF format. PNG was

created to replace the GIF format, since GIF uses a patented data

compression algorithm.

Libpng should be installed if you need to manipulate PNG format image

files.
