Debian DLA-926-1 : batik security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99737

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In Apache Batik before 1.9, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik can be revealed to arbitrary users who send maliciously formed SVG files. The file types that can be shown depend on the user context in which the exploitable application is running.
If the user is root a full compromise of the server - including confidential or sensitive files - would be possible. XXE can also be used to attack the availability of the server via denial of service as the references within a xml document can trivially trigger an amplification attack.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.7+dfsg-3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your batik packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected libbatik-java package.
