Fedora 24: libpng Security Update
Summary
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.
Update Information:
libpng 1.6.27 release, fixing a potential security issue. For details, see https://sourceforge.net/p/png-mng/mailman/message/35575076/
