Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4630-1
November 11, 2020
raptor2 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
raptor2 could be made to crash or run programs as your login if
it opened a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- raptor2: RDF syntax library
Details:
Hanno Böck discovered that Raptor incorrectly handled certain
memory
operations. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted
document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker
could
cause the application 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 20.10:
libraptor2-0 2.0.15-0ubuntu1.20.10.1
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
libraptor2-0 2.0.15-0ubuntu1.20.04.1
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
libraptor2-0 2.0.14-1ubuntu0.18.04.1
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libraptor2-0 2.0.14-1ubuntu0.16.04.1
After a standard system update you need to restart any
applications which
use Raptor, such as LibreOffice, to make all the necessary
changes.
