Title:DSA-2048-1 dvipng -- buffer overflow

For the stable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version dvipng_1.11-1+lenny1. For the testing distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1. For the unstable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1. We recommend that you upgrade your dvipng package.
