More information:

The update of libsdl2 released as DLA 1714-1 led to several regressions, as reported by Avital Ostromich. These regressions are caused by libsdl1.2 patches for CVE-2019-7637, CVE-2019-7635, CVE-2019-7638 and CVE-2019-7636 being applied to libsdl2 without adaptations.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.2+dfsg1-6+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsdl2 packages.
