Debian DLA-2285-1 : librsvg security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 138858

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been found in librsvg, an SVG rendering library. This update corrects some denial of service issues via exponential element processing, stack exhaustion or application crash when processing specially crafted files, as well as some memory safety issues.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.40.21-0+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your librsvg packages.

For the detailed security status of librsvg please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/librsvg

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 packages.
