How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest 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.
