CVE-2010-2249 It was discovered a memory leak in libpng which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via a PNG image containing malformed Physical Scale (aka sCAL) chunks For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.27-2+lenny4.
