medium Nessus Plugin ID 205282

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202408-14 (Librsvg: Arbitrary File Read)

 A directory traversal problem in the URL decoder of librsvg could be used by local or remote attackers to disclose files (on the local filesystem outside of the expected area), as demonstrated by href=.?../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd in an xi:include element.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Gentoo Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

All Librsvg users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=gnome-base/librsvg-2.56.3
