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 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 14.04
After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all the
necessary changes.
