USN-4156-1: SDL vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 16.04 ESM

Packages

• libsdl1.2 - Simple DirectMedia Layer

Details

It was discovered that SDL incorrectly handled certain images. If a user
were tricked into opening a crafted image file, a remote attacker could
use this issue to cause SDL 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 18.04

• libsdl1.2debian - 1.2.15+dfsg2-0.1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 16.04

• libsdl1.2debian - 1.2.15+dfsg1-3ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
