Severity: grave

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for libcairo.

CVE-2007-5503[0]:
| Multiple integer overflows in Cairo before 1.4.12 might allow remote attackers
| to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using a crafted PNG image, which is
| not properly handled by the read_png function.

Until now this CVE seems to be reserved, see 
http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-5503 in the meanwhile.

Patches can be found on:

I did not check if the stable version is also prone to this.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.
