- From Debian Security Advisory DSA 213-1: |

|
| 17 |
"Glenn Randers-Pehrson discovered a problem in connection with 16-bit |
| 18 |
samples from libpng, an interface for reading and writing PNG |
| 19 |
(Portable Network Graphics) format files. The starting offsets for |
| 20 |
the loops are calculated incorrectly which causes a buffer overrun |
| 21 |
beyond the beginning of the row buffer." |
