Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2548-1
March 25, 2015
batik vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
Batik could be made to consume resources or expose sensitive information.
Software Description:
– batik: xml.apache.org SVG Library
Details:
Nicolas Gregoire and Kevin Schaller discovered that Batik would load XML
external entities by default. If a user or automated system were tricked
into opening a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could possibly
obtain access to arbitrary files or cause resource consumption.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.10:
libbatik-java 1.7.ubuntu-8ubuntu2.14.10.1
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libbatik-java 1.7.ubuntu-8ubuntu2.14.04.1
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libbatik-java 1.7.ubuntu-8ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
