RHEL 6 : librsvg2 (RHSA-2011:1289)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 56188

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated librsvg2 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The librsvg2 packages provide an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) library based on libart.

A flaw was found in the way librsvg2 parsed certain SVG files. An attacker could create a specially crafted SVG file that, when opened, would cause applications that use librsvg2 (such as Eye of GNOME) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3146)

Red Hat would like to thank the Ubuntu Security Team for reporting this issue. The Ubuntu Security Team acknowledges Sauli Pahlman as the original reporter.

All librsvg2 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications that use librsvg2 must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected librsvg2, librsvg2-debuginfo and / or librsvg2-devel packages.
