It was reported [1] that libpng 1.5.4 suffered from a flaw when encountering a malformed cHRM chunk in a PNG graphics file. libpng would perform a divide-by-zero, which would cause libpng, or any application linked to libpng, to crash.

This flaw only affected libpng 1.5.4 where it was introduced, and is corrected in version 1.5.5. [2]
