The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4630-1 advisory.

    Hanno Bck discovered that Raptor incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user were tricked     into opening a specially crafted document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker could cause     the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE MITRE reports :

raptor_xml_writer_start_element_common in raptor_xml_writer.c in Raptor RDF Syntax Library 2.0.15 miscalculates the maximum nspace declarations for the XML writer, leading to heap-based buffer overflows (sometimes seen in raptor_qname_format_as_xml).

It was discovered that there were two heap overflow vulnerabilities in raptor2, a set of parsers for RDF files that is used, amongst others, in LibreOffice.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.14-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your raptor2 packages.

For the detailed security status of raptor2 please refer to its security tracker page at:

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that raptor2, an RDF parser library, is prone to heap-based buffer overflow flaws, which could result in denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code, if a specially crafted file is processed.
