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: Update to libpng 1.2.37, to fix CVE-2009-2042. This is a pretty low-risk issue, but it's been classified as a security issue...
