Description

libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. A specially crafted SVG input can cause libvips versions 8.14.3 or earlier to segfault when attempting to parse a malformed UTF-8 character. Users should upgrade to libvips version 8.14.4 (or later) when processing untrusted input.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-gir1-2-vips-8-0
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libvips-tools
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libvips42
