In the case of pdftex, I would be more worried about real bugs.

The chance of a malicious PNG image accidentally appearing in a
document that will be processed by pdftex is very low. OTOH, the
chance of a pdfTeX user hitting one of the 'normal' bugs and
thereby suffering actual consequences (missed deadlines, lost
assignments, discouraged clients) are probably a whole lot higher.

If there is a new version, it should be integrated regardless.
