Man Yue Mo, Lars Krapf and Pierre Ernst discovered that Batik, a toolkit for processing SVG images, did not properly validate its input. This would allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service, mount cross-site scripting attacks, or access restricted files on the server. For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7+dfsg-5+deb8u1. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8-4+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your batik packages. For the detailed security status of batik please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/batik
