Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : DjVuLibre vulnerabilities (USN-4198-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 131226

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted DjVu file, a remote attacker could cause applications to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary 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 packages.
