==== Upgraded ====
  * [[slackware.13.37>patches/packages/libpng-1.4.20-i486-1_slack13.37.txz]] \\   This release fixes an old NULL pointer dereference bug in png_set_text_2() \\   discovered and patched by Patrick Keshishian.  The potential "NULL \\   dereference" bug has existed in libpng since version 0.71 of June 26, 1995. \\   To be vulnerable, an application has to load a text chunk into the png \\   structure, then delete all text, then add another text chunk to the same \\   png structure, which seems to be an unlikely sequence, but it has happened. \\   For more information, see: \\     https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-10087 \\   (* Security fix *)
