evince vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- - Ubuntu 17.04
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Evince could be made to run programs if it printed a specially crafted
file.

Software Description:
- - evince: Document viewer

Details:

It was discovered that Evince incorrectly handled printing certain DVI
files. If a user were tricked into opening and printing a specially-named
DVI file, an attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

package versions:

Ubuntu 17.04:
  evince                          3.24.0-0ubuntu1.3
