Because the vulnerability, which we only heard about yesterday, has
been widely published by the Chromium developers, I'll release
1.0.57, 1.2.47, 1.4.9, and 1.5.9 tomorrow afternoon, which only allows us
24 hours for testing. =A0Note that our patch is not quite the same as
the chromium patch; ours preserves the ability to set a user limit
on the expansion of compressed ancillary chunks.
