CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade librsvg to version 2.34.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) librsvg before 2.34.1 uses the node name to identify the type of node, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a SVG file with a node with the element name starting with "fe," which is misidentified as a RsvgFilterPrimitive.
