AI-suggested
A fix is available in librsvg version 2.63.1. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No effective workaround or temporary mitigation meeting Red Hat's criteria is available. Since exploitation requires user interaction (e.g., opening a malicious SVG file), caution should be exercised when handling untrusted SVG content.
Description
CVE-2026-96889 is a use-after-free vulnerability in librsvg affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. It occurs when processing SVG documents with nested XML inclusions containing duplicate entity declarations, causing the library to free an XML entity still in use. This flaw can lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious SVG file. The issue is fixed in librsvg version 2.63.1.
