Package        : librsvg
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-38633
Debian Bug     : 1041810

Zac Sims discovered a directory traversal in the URL decoder of librsvg,
a SAX-based renderer library for SVG files, which could result in read
of arbitrary files when processing a specially crafted SVG file with an
include element.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.50.3+dfsg-1+deb11u1.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.54.7+dfsg-1~deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your librsvg packages.
