CVE-2010-2249 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-2249):
  Memory leak in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.2.44, and 1.4.x before
  1.4.3, 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.

We already have 1.2.44 and 1.4.3, just need to decide on a glsa.
Vote: no.
