Requirements

  1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pngquant/; available for all supported architectures

  3. Security:

    • CVE entries: none

    • Secunia history: none

    • Does not run as root, no daemons
    • No network activity
    • Processes PNG images to quantize and dither them
    • Shallow source code review performed; code seems clean and well commented
