CVE-2011-3464 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-3464):
  Off-by-one error in the png_formatted_warning function in pngerror.c in
  libpng 1.5.4 through 1.5.7 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via
  unspecified vectors, which trigger a stack-based buffer overflow.
