Summary
libjpeg-turbo vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain EOF characters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjpeg-turbo to consume resource, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-11813)

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain malformed jpeg files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjpeg-turbo to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-17541, CVE-2020-35538)

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain malformed PPM files. An attacker could use this issue to cause libjpeg-turbo to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-46822)
