CVE-2017-5662 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 batik to version 1.9-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream batik package and not the batik package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Apache Batik before 1.9, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik 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.
