Releases

• Ubuntu 17.10
• Ubuntu 17.04
• Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Packages

• libraw - raw image decoder library

Details

It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or
automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted photo
file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against LibRaw
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 17.10

• libraw16 - 0.18.2-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 17.04

• libraw16 - 0.18.1-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 16.04

• libraw15 - 0.17.1-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 14.04

• libraw9 - 0.15.4-1ubuntu0.1

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
