    Summary: Updated libpng packages fix security vulnerabilities

    Details: Updated libpng and libpng12 packages fix security vulnerability: The fix for CVE-2015-8126 was incomplete. While it defended against the potential overrun while reading PNG files, it did not detect a potential overrun by applications using png_set_PLTE directly (CVE-2015-8472).
