libpng vulnerabilities - US-CERT Technical Cyber Security Alert TA04-217A

[Mary Ann Blair <mc4t () ANDREW CMU EDU>]

Colleagues,
How are your institutions responding to the announced vulnerability in
libpng?  While there are no known exploits at this time neither are there
patches for much of the affected software. There's enough concern on my
campus that there's talk of dropping vulnerable software from some
platforms.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
