Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for SDL2
Description of the patch: This update for SDL2 fixes the following issues:
- CVE-2017-2888: An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists
when creating a new RGB Surface in SDL. A specially crafted file can cause
an integer overflow resulting in too little memory being allocated which
can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker
can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability. (bsc#1062784)
