USN-6137-1: LibRaw vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 23.04
• Ubuntu 22.10
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

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 23.04

• libraw20 - 0.20.2-2ubuntu2.23.04.1

Ubuntu 22.10

• libraw20 - 0.20.2-2ubuntu2.22.10.1

Ubuntu 22.04

• libraw20 - 0.20.2-2ubuntu2.22.04.1

Ubuntu 20.04

• libraw19 - 0.19.5-1ubuntu1.2

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