CWE-476  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 svgpp to version 1.2.3+dfsg1-6+deb10u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream svgpp package and not the svgpp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In SVGPP SVG++ library 1.3.0, the XMLDocument::getRoot function in the renderDocument function handled the XMLDocument object improperly, returning a null pointer in advance at the second if, resulting in a null pointer reference behind the renderDocument function.
