libraw vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 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                        0.18.2-2ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
  libraw15                        0.17.1-1ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  libraw9                         0.15.4-1ubuntu0.2

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