Security Fix(es):
exempi: An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.3. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memcpy with resultant use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a .pdf file containing JPEG data, related to XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/ReconcileTIFF.cpp, XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/TIFF_MemoryReader.cpp, and XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/TIFF_Support.hpp.(CVE-2017-18234)
exempi: An infinite loop has been discovered in Exempi in the way it handles Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data in QuickTime files. An attacker could cause a denial of service via a crafted file.(CVE-2017-18238)
exempi: An integer wraparound, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in Exempi in the way it handles Adobe Photoshop Images. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via a crafted image file.(CVE-2018-7730)
exempi: An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.4. The ASF_Support::ReadHeaderObject function in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/ASF_Support.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted .asf file.(CVE-2017-18236)
exempi: An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.4. Integer overflow in the Chunk class in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/RIFF.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted XMP data in a .avi file.(CVE-2017-18233)
exempi: bugfix
libcgroup: up to and including 0.41 creates /var/log/cgred with mode 0666 regardless of the configured umask, leading to disclosure of information.(CVE-2018-14348)
