SCA: security update for org.apache.xmlgraphics:fop (GHSA-5hg8-r9vq-gjqp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410861

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In Apache FOP before 2.2, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses FOP 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. (CVE-2017-5661)
