==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 17.10
- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:
LibRaw could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- libraw: raw image decoder library
Details:
It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or
automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted photo
file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against LibRaw
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.10:
libraw16 0.18.2-2ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 17.04:

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
