Hi,

The following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was published for

CVE-2008-5907[1]:
> The png_check_keyword function in pngwutil.c in libpng before 1.0.42, and
> 1.2.x before 1.2.34, might allow context-dependent attackers to set the
> value of an arbitrary memory location to zero via vectors involving
> creation of crafted PNG files with keywords, related to an implicit cast of
> the '\0' character constant to a NULL pointer. NOTE: some sources
> incorrectly report this as a double free vulnerability.
