    Debian Bug     : 1121216 1121217 1121218 1121219 1121877

    Several vulnerabilities were reported in the libpng PNG library, which
    could lead to information leaks, denial of service or potentially the
    execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted image is processed.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1.6.39-2+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.6.48-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libpng1.6 packages.

    For the detailed security status of libpng1.6 please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libpng1.6
