Description:
    Previous versions of the libpng package contain a weakness in
    processing images that is known to create a denial of service
    vulnerability and is expected also to allow unauthorized access.
    This weakness is triggered by malformed png images that may be
    provided to applications such as web browsers by an attacker.
