NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream librsvg2 package and not the librsvg2 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in librsvg. When processing an SVG document containing nested XML inclusions (Xincludes) with duplicate entity declarations, a use-after-free error can occur. This vulnerability arises because the library incorrectly frees an XML entity that is still in use by the parser. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
