Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-04-24 11:43:53 UTC
From ${URL} :

In Apache Batik before 1.9, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik can be revealed to arbitrary users who send maliciously formed SVG files. The file types that 
can be shown depend on the user context in which the exploitable application is running. If the user is root a full compromise of the server - including confidential or sensitive 
files - would be possible. XXE can also be used to attack the availability of the server via denial of service as the references within a xml document can trivially trigger an 
amplification attack.

@arches, please stabilize.
Comment 5 Myckel Habets (work) 2017-08-24 14:49:01 UTC
If bug #628812 isn't an issue (due to the security status) it's ok to mark stable for x86. Rdeps build as well against this version.
