 Problem Description:
 
 Doxygen is a documentation system for C, C++ and IDL. It is built with
 a private copy of libpng, and as such could be susceptible to some of
 the same vulnerabilities:

 Buffer overflow in the png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in
 libpng before 1.2.12 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
 denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified
 vectors related to "chunk error processing," possibly involving the
 "chunk_name". (CVE-2006-3334)

 It is questionable whether this issue is actually exploitable, but the
 patch to correct the issue has been included in versions < 1.2.12.

 Tavis Ormandy, of the Gentoo Linux Security Auditing Team, discovered a
 typo in png_set_sPLT() that may cause an application using libpng to
 read out of bounds, resulting in a crash. (CVE-2006-5793)

 In addition, an patch to address several old vulnerabilities has been
 applied to this build. (CAN-2002-1363, CAN-2004-0421, CAN-2004-0597,
 CAN-2004-0598, CAN-2004-0599)

 Packages have been patched to correct these issues.
