[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.2.35' of
'libpng' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release fixes a newly discovered vulnerability in which some
arrays of pointers are not initialized prior to using malloc to define
the pointers. If the application runs out of memory while executing
the allocation loop (which can be forced by malevolent input), libpng
will jump to a cleanup process that attempts to free all of the
pointers, including the undefined ones. 

Release focus:
9 - Major security fixes

improvements and extensions.
