+    libpng is a standard library used to process PNG (Portable Network
+    Graphics) images. It is used by several other programs, including web
+    browsers and potentially server processes.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    libpng contains numerous vulnerabilities including null pointer dereference
+    errors and boundary errors in various functions.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause programs linked
+    against the library to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions
+    of the user running the vulnerable program, which could be the root user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libpng users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r8"
+    # emerge ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r8"</code>
+    <p>
+    You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend on
+    older versions of libpng :
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # revdep-rebuild</code>
