You should use correct formulations, this is nonsense as you wrote it. 
A broken PNG image can cause security problems when you use it in 
POV-Ray as an image map.

The whole thing isn't new, there have been similar problems with other 
support libraries before.  I really don't understand why people make so 
much fuzz about it.  If you had asked me a week ago to bet $1000 on 
libpng containing vulnerabilities or not the answer would have been 
completely clear.
