check ${S}/libraries/png.
Comment 1 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-06-07 21:10:26 UTC 
megapov is at least affected by CVE-2008-5709 (c.f. bug 255231).
For susceptibility to CVE-2008-5907, only 2 out of 3 needed requirements are met.

I didn't check for other issues, but the one hit is enough for me to take action:

Graphics, can you rip out libpng? If not, as upstream development seems to have stopped and no package RDPENEDS on it, we'd have to consider megapov as a candidate for removal.
Comment 2 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-06-23 23:41:36 UTC 
No response from maintainers.
Treecleaners, please proceed to last rites.

libpng was rated B2 in bug #255231

megapov was never stable from what I see. → noglsa
