libpng

All the popular os's are releasing advisories against libpng. From the libpng website http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html they say security can crash bugs up until 1.2.12.

So you should upgrade to 1.2.13.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache

wget http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libpng/libpng-1.2.13-no-config.tar.gz

mv libpng-1.2.13-no-config.tar.gz libpng-1.2.13.tar.gz

nano -w build

find:

if [ -e /lib64 ]; then
PNG_VER=1.2.8
else
PNG_VER=1.2.10
fi


change to:

if [ -e /lib64 ]; then
PNG_VER=1.2.8
else
PNG_VER=1.2.13
fi

save the file then:

./build libpng

everything appears to be working for me.

Thanks Vandal.

 

[vandal]

my pleasure.

Seems the build script was using version .10 and I would like to know why it wasn't ever updated to at least .12.

Odd.

Thanks for pointing that out, I've updated the script.
