indent vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Indent could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.

Software Description:
- indent: C language source code formatting program

Details:

It was discovered that Indent incorrectly handled parsing certain source
files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted source file, a remote attacker could use this issue to
cause Indent 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 23.04:
   indent                          2.2.12-4ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
   indent                          2.2.12-1ubuntu0.22.04.1

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
   indent                          2.2.12-1ubuntu0.20.04.1
