  - cairo through 1.15.14 has an out-of-bounds stack-memory write during processing of a crafted document by     WebKitGTK+ because of the interaction between cairo-rectangular-scan-converter.c (the generate and     render_rows functions) and cairo-image-compositor.c (the _cairo_image_spans_and_zero function).
    (CVE-2018-18064)

  - cairo 1.16.0, in cairo_ft_apply_variations() in cairo-ft-font.c, would free memory using a free function     incompatible with WebKit's fastMalloc, leading to an application crash with a free(): invalid pointer     error. (CVE-2018-19876)

According to the versions of the cairo packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in cairo 1.16.0. There is an     infinite loop in the function _arc_error_normalized in     the file cairo-arc.c, related to
    _arc_max_angle_for_tolerance_normalized.(CVE-2019-6462)

  - An issue was discovered in cairo 1.16.0. There is an     assertion problem in the function
    _cairo_arc_in_direction in the file     cairo-arc.c.(CVE-2019-6461)

  - Cairo version 1.15.4 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer     dereference related to the FT_Load_Glyph and     FT_Render_Glyph resulting in an application     crash.(CVE-2017-7475)

  - A flaw was found in cairo's image-compositor.c in all     versions prior to 1.17.4. This flaw allows an attacker     who can provide a crafted input file to cairo's     image-compositor (for example, by convincing a user to     open a file in an application using cairo, or if an     application uses cairo on untrusted input) to cause a     stack buffer overflow -> out-of-bounds WRITE. The     highest impact from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35492)
