Details:

Integer overflow in the write_png function in cairo 1.14.6 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a large
svg file (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-9082).

Due to the nature of invalid pointer dereferences, it is also possible that it
could result in arbitray code execution. This has been neither proven nor
disproven (http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/93931/discuss).
