    (Portable Network Graphics) image format files.

    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
    language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes
    modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and
    dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and
    libraries.

    and eventually crash was discovered.  See CAN-2004-0493 on 
    http://cve.mitre.org/ for more information.

  libpng:
    The patch used for our libpng update on 2004-06-23 was discovered not
