Ispravljene su dvije ranjivosti u alatu chm2pdf. Radi se o jednostavnoj Python skripti namijenjenoj konverziji CHM datoteka u PDF format. Ranjivosti su posljedica nesigurne upotrebe privremenih datoteka u direktorijima "/tmp/chm2pdf/work" i "/tmp/chm2pdf/orig". Ranjivosti mogu iskorištavati lokalni napadači kako bi povećali ovlasti, izveli napad uskraćivanjem usluga (DoS napad) ili kako bi izbrisali proizvoljne datoteke. Svim korisnicima se savjetuje prelazak na najnoviju inačicu kojom su otklonjene obje ranjivosti.
