djvulibre vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

DjVuLibre could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened
a specially crafted file.

Details:

It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain memory

specially crafted DjVu file, applications could be made to crash, resulting
in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:
