For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: To reduce exposure, avoid processing untrusted PNG image files with applications that utilize libpng. Restricting the source of PNG images to trusted origins can limit the attack surface. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
