djvulibre security update

DjVu is a set of compression technologies, a file format, and a software platform for the deliveryover the Web of digital documents, scanned documents, and high resolution images.DjVu documents download and display extremely quickly, and look exactly the same on all platforms with no compatibility problems due to fonts, colors, etc. DjVu can be seen as a superior alternative to PDF and PostScript for digital documents, to TIFF (and PDF) for scanned bitonal documents, to JPEG and JPEG2000 for photographs and pictures, and to GIF for large palettized images. DjVu is the only Web format that is practical for distributing high-resolution scanned documents in color.

In DjVuLibre 3.5.27, DjVmDir.cpp in the DJVU reader component allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crash in GStringRep::strdup in libdjvu/GString.cpp caused by a heap-based buffer over-read) by crafting a DJVU file.(CVE-2019-15142)

In DjVuLibre 3.5.27, the bitmap reader component allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service error (resource exhaustion caused by a GBitmap::read_rle_raw infinite loop) by crafting a corrupted image file, related to libdjvu/DjVmDir.cpp and libdjvu/GBitmap.cpp.(CVE-2019-15143)

djvulibre vulnerabilities

It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted DjVu file, a remote attacker could cause applications to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
