medium Nessus Plugin ID 73077

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that librsvg would load XML external entities by default. If a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files.

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.

Solution

Update the affected librsvg2-2 package.
