gerbv vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- - Ubuntu 23.10
- - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Gerbv could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted input file.

Software Description:
- - gerbv: Gerber file viewer for PCB design

Details:

George-Andrei Iosif and David Fernandez Gonzalez discovered that Gerbv did
not properly initialize a data structure when parsing certain nested
RS-274X format files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service (application crash).
