libwmf vulnerabilities
============================================================================
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 Mu=C3=B1oz 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.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 15.04:
libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-10.3ubuntu1.15.04.1
Ubuntu 14.10:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
