## Description

Out-of-bounds Write in unfilter\_scanline in warmcat libwebsockets allows,
when the LWS\_WITH\_UPNG flag is enabled during compilation and the HTML
display stack is used, to write past a heap allocated buffer possibly
causing a crash, when the user visits an attacker controlled website that
contains a crafted PNG file with a big width value that causes an integer
overflow which value is used for determining the size of a heap allocation.
