==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 15.04
– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
libwmf could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
– libwmf: Windows metafile conversion tools
Details:
Fernando Muñoz and Stefan Cornelius discovered that libwmf incorrectly
handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were
tricked into opening a crafted image file, an attacker could cause a denial
of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking
the program.
