issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-0137, CVE-2022-24191, CVE-2022-34033,
CVE-2022-34035)

It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the
gif_get_code function, which could lead to a segmentation fault. If a
user or application were tricked into opening a crafted GIF file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-0534)
