Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-11440.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3672-1 advisory.

    Henri Salo discovered that Liblouis incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11683, CVE-2018-11684, CVE-2018-11685)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for liblouis fixes the following issues :
