"Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2) png_get_PLTE
functions in libpng [...] 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."

Assuming it might be usable for exploitation, I would recommend bumping the
port soon.
