    Package        : libpng1.6     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-33416 CVE-2026-33636

    Two security vulnerabilities were discovered in libpng, a library     implementing an interface for reading and writing PNG (Portable Network     Graphics) files, which could result in denial of service or potentially     the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 1.6.39-2+deb12u4.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.6.48-1+deb13u4.

    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:
