Debian DSA-5382-1 : cairosvg - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 173948

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5382 advisory.

 - CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to version 2.7.0, Cairo can send requests to external hosts when processing SVG files. A malicious actor could send a specially crafted SVG file that allows them to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Version 2.7.0 disables CairoSVG's ability to access other files online by default. (CVE-2023-27586)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the cairosvg packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.0-1.1+deb11u1.
