USN-5553-1: libjpeg-turbo vulnerabilities It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo was not properly handling EOF characters, which could lead to excessive memory consumption through the execution of a large loop. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-11813) It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo was not properly performing bounds check operations, which could lead to a heap-based buffer overread. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-14498) It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo was not properly limiting the amount of main memory being consumed by the system during decompression or multi-pass compression operations, which could lead to excessive memory consumption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial [ more… ]

USN-5554-1: GDK-PixBuf vulnerability Pedro Ribeiro discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain GIF images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
