 Package : djvulibre CVE ID : CVE-2025-53367 Debian Bug : 1108729

 Antonio Morales discovered an out-of-bounds write in the MMRDecoder::scanruns method in djvulibre, a library and set of tools to handle documents in the DjVu format, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted document is processed.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 3.5.28-2.1~deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your djvulibre packages.

 For the detailed security status of djvulibre please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/djvulibre
