    descriptionVincent LE GARREC discovered an integer underflow in pixman. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause pixman to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
