I mean, any _specific_ patch, of course.
They point to 
http://scary.beasts.org/security/CESA-2004-001.txt
with some patch, but there is:

"NOTE! This patch serves as demo purposes for the flaws only. An official
v1.2.6 libpng with an official, slightly different fix will be released by
the libpng team in parallel with this advisory."

What is in 1.2.6 in that place is equal to 1.2.5 official patches. Patch 
from CESA is not used.
