Nicolas Gregoire and Kevin Schaller discovered that Batik, a toolkit for processing SVG images, 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. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.7+dfsg-3+deb7u1. For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.7+dfsg-5. We recommend that you upgrade your batik packages.
