Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : SDL vulnerabilities (USN-4156-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 129968

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was discovered that SDL incorrectly handled certain images. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted image file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause SDL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libsdl1.2-dev and / or libsdl1.2debian packages.
