Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libpng:

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libpng

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application
(CVE-2011-3045).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
libpng on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
