If you guys haven't seen it yet, the libpng updates that just got pushed 
for FC1/2 give us credit for them!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
During an audit of Red Hat Linux updates, the Fedora Legacy team found a
security issue in libpng that had not been fixed in Fedora Core. An
attacker could carefully craft a PNG file in such a way that
it would cause an application linked to libpng to crash or potentially
execute arbitrary code when opened by a victim.

Way to go guys!
