CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 librsvg to version 2.40.9-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream librsvg package and not the librsvg package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The _rsvg_node_poly_build_path function in rsvg-shapes.c in librsvg before 2.40.7 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via an odd number of elements in a coordinate pair in an SVG document.
