 Reading the ticket, it seems that 1.7.2-3 was affected and it was only
 fixed in 1.7.2-5 in Fedora, so I think the upper bound is wrong.
 
 on the other hand, it talks about file permissions for a config file
 which pkgsrc does not install, so I'll comment it out.

 CVEs often have this wording - but it doesn't mean it's fixed in newer
 versions, it's just that the submitter only tested these versions.
 
 These are the commits for the 0.9.8 release:
 https://github.com/mirrorer/libbpg/commit/0e2aadbe40fd8b962440caa51a52c558ccdbc791
 so I'm not quite convinced this is fixed, the function restore_tqb_pixels is not
 changed, so I'd tend to leave this alone for now.
 
 Except for these, I've applied the diff - thank you very much for
 digging into this!
 
 I've replaced a couple SA link with CVE links.
