It was reported [1] that the fix for CVE-2004-0421 in libpng was
inadvertently reverted during the 1.2.23 development cycle.  The
original flaw could be used to cause a denial of service via a
carefully-crafted PNG image.

This would affect all versions of libpng >=1.2.23, including 1.4.x and
1.5.x.
