An Out of Bounds flaw was found fig2dev version 3.2.8a. A flawed bounds check in read_objects() could allow an attacker to provide a crafted malicious input causing the application to either crash or in some cases cause memory corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity as well as system availability.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5864-1 advisory.

    Frederic Cambus discovered that Fig2dev incorrectly handled certain image files. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a certain

    specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-14275)
