CVE-2017-1000159

    When printing from DVI to PDF, the dvipdfm tool was called without
    properly sanitizing the filename, which could lead to a command
    injection attack via the filename.

CVE-2019-11459

    The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() did
    not check the status of TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to
    uninitialized memory access if that funcion fails.

CVE-2019-1010006

    Some buffer overflow checks were not properly done, leading to
    application crash or possibly arbitrary code execution when
    opening maliciously crafted files.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1.8.1+dfsg1-4+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your atril packages.
