Descriptions

XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the SVG to (1) PNG and (2) JPG conversion classes in Apache Batik 1.x before 1.8 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via a crafted SVG file.

Vulnerabilidad de entidad externa XML (XXE) en los gráficos vectoriales redimensionables en las clases de conversión (1) PNG y (2) JPG en Apache Batik 1.x anterior a 1.8 permite a atacantes remotos leer ficheros arbitrarios o causar una denegación de servicio a través de un fichero de gráficos vectoriales redimensionables manipulado.

It was found that batik was vulnerable to XML External Entity attacks when parsing SVG files. A remote attacker able to send malicious SVG content to the affected server could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
