denial of service. This issue was already fixed in a previous release for 18.04
LTS and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12180)
A stack overflow was discovered in bmp. An unprivileged user
could potentially enable denial of service or elevation of privilege via
local access. This issue was already fixed in a previous release for 18.04
LTS and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12181)
It was discovered that memory was not cleared before free that could lead
to potential password leak. (CVE-2019-14558)

possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified
impact. (CVE-2019-14559)
