Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for exiv2.

CVE-2018-19535[0]:
| In Exiv2 0.26 and previous versions, PngChunk::readRawProfile in
| pngchunk_int.cpp may cause a denial of service (application crash due
| to a heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted PNG file.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed. The
vulnerable code is at least already present in 0.25-4 but I guess
even in stretch version (but not checked).
