    Summary

    Several security issues were fixed in DjVuLibre.

    Details

    It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain
    memory operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into
    processing a specially crafted DjVu file, a remote attacker could
    cause applications to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of
    service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

    following package versions:
