==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Ubuntu 19.04

Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in DjVuLibre.
Software Description:
- djvulibre: DjVu image format library and tools
Details:
It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain memory
operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted DjVu file, a remote attacker could cause applications
to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code.

package versions:
Ubuntu 19.10:
libdjvulibre21 3.5.27.1-13ubuntu0.1

all the necessary changes.
