medium Nessus Plugin ID 56194

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Sauli Pahlman discovered that librsvg did not correctly handle malformed filter names. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted SVG image, a remote attacker could gain user privileges.

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