[3.2] libpng: Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in png_get_PLTE/png_set_PLTE functions (CVE-2015-8126)

Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2) png_get_PLTE
functions in libpng before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x
before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19 allow remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a small
bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image.

Fixed in:

1.6.19, 1.5.24, 1.4.17, 1.2.54, and 1.0.64
