USN-3706-1: libjpeg-turbo vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 17.10
• Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Packages

• libjpeg-turbo - library for handling JPEG files

Details

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain malformed
JPEG images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
specially crafted JPEG image, a remote attacker could cause libjpeg-turbo
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 18.04

• libjpeg-turbo8 - 1.5.2-0ubuntu5.18.04.1

Ubuntu 17.10

• libjpeg-turbo8 - 1.5.2-0ubuntu5.17.10.1

Ubuntu 16.04

• libjpeg-turbo8 - 1.4.2-0ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 14.04

• libjpeg-turbo8 - 1.3.0-0ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
