Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two issues have been found in dompurify.js, an XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG.

Both issues are related to mXSS issues in SVG- or MATH-elements.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.2~dfsg1-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your dompurify.js packages.

For the detailed security status of dompurify.js please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dompurify.js

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libjs-dompurify, and node-dompurify packages.
