Description:
    According to a Debian security advisory based on hints from Glenn
    Randers-Pehrson [0], a buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the
    Portable Network Graphics (PNG) library libpng [1] in connection with
    16-bit samples. The starting offsets for the loops are calculated
    incorrectly which may cause a buffer overrun beyond the beginning of
    the row buffer.
