CairoSVG is a Python (pypi) package. CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo. In CairoSVG before version 2.5.1, there is a regular expression denial of service (REDoS) vulnerability. When processing SVG files, the python package CairoSVG uses two regular expressions which are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (REDoS). If an attacker provides a malicious SVG, it can make cairosvg get stuck processing the file for a very long time. This is fixed in version 2.5.1. See Referenced GitHub advisory for more information.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

    version 2.5.1, there is a regular expression denial of service (REDoS) vulnerability. When processing SVG
    files, the python package CairoSVG uses two regular expressions which are vulnerable to Regular Expression
    Denial of Service (REDoS). If an attacker provides a malicious SVG, it can make cairosvg get stuck

  - CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to version 2.7.0, Cairo can send     requests to external hosts when processing SVG files. A malicious actor could send a specially crafted SVG     file that allows them to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Version 2.7.0     disables CairoSVG's ability to access other files online by default. (CVE-2023-27586)

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

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0260-1 advisory.
