SCA: security update for phenx/php-svg-lib (GHSA-ff5x-7qg5-vwf2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414463

Description

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

 - php-svg-lib is an SVG file parsing / rendering library. Prior to version 0.5.1, when parsing the
 attributes passed to a `use` tag inside an svg document, an attacker can cause the system to go to an
 infinite recursion. Depending on the system configuration and attack pattern this could exhaust the memory
 available to the executing process and/or to the server itself. An attacker sending multiple request to a
 system to render the above payload can potentially cause resource exhaustion to the point that the system
 is unable to handle incoming request. Version 0.5.1 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-50251)
