- raptor2 - RDF syntax library
Details
Hanno Böck discovered that Raptor incorrectly handled certain memory
operations. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted
document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker could
cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 20.10
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
After a standard system update you need to restart any applications which
use Raptor, such as LibreOffice, to make all the necessary changes.
