Debian DSA-3584-1 : librsvg - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91266

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Gustavo Grieco discovered several flaws in the way librsvg, a SAX-based renderer library for SVG files, parses SVG files with circular definitions. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause an application using the librsvg library to crash.

Solution

Upgrade the librsvg packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.40.5-1+deb8u2.
