Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in LibRaw.

Software Description:
- libraw: raw image decoder library

Details:

It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or
automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted photo
file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against LibRaw to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

   libraw19                        0.19.5-1ubuntu1.1

   libraw16                        0.18.8-1ubuntu0.4

the necessary changes.
