Yes it does affect Ubuntu packages, e.g. libwebkitgtk-1.0 uses libcairo when rendering video stream and crashes.  Applications that use libwebkitgtk-1.0 consequently also crash.

Title:
  libcairo segfaults when rendering video streams, e.g. youtube videos
  in webkit base browsers

Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The libcairo version (1.13) that is used on Ubuntu 14.04 contains a
  bug the leads to a segementation fault (see
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81699) when rendering
  certain video streams.  E.g. webkit based browser that render Youtube
  videos will eventually crash.

  The bug has been fixed upstream, libcairo 1.14 does not segfault, so
  it would be very desirable that the libcairo2 package in Ubuntu gets
  updated to version 1.14 of libcairo.
