Vulnerability: Misidentification of SVG Node Type in librsvg

CVE-2011-3146 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.
