t1utils vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
t1utils could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.
Software Description:
– t1utils: Collection of simple Type 1 font manipulation programs
Details:
Jakub Wilk discovered that t1utils incorrectly handled certain malformed fonts.
If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
font, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

t1utils 1.37-2.1ubuntu0.1
