Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu
Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca and Suleman Ali discovered that Cairo did not properly manage memory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Cairo to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-9814)
It was discovered that Cairo incorrectly handled certain angle values when drawing arcs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Cairo to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-6461)
It was discovered that Cairo incorrectly handled certain calculations when drawing arcs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Cairo to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-6462)
Stephan Bergmann discovered that Cairo incorrectly managed memory during image composition. An attacker could use this issue to cause Cairo to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-35492)
