Summary

Several issues have been found in libsdl2, a library for portable low
level access to a video framebuffer, audio output, mouse, and keyboard.
All issues are related to either buffer overflow, integer overflow or
heap-based buffer over-read, resulting in a DoS or remote code execution
by using crafted files of different formats.


For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
