Description David Walser 2016-07-06 15:48:11 CEST 
A CVE has been assigned for an issue fixed upstream in librsvg:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/07/05/9

Supposedly it can be used to crash Firefox and Chrome and it has been fixed in the newest version (2.40.16, already in Cauldron), but it is not clear which commit contains the fix.
Comment 1 David Walser 2016-07-06 15:50:00 CEST 
Now they've identified a potential fixing commit, but it is much earlier than 2.40.16 (and indeed earlier than 2.40.13, which we already have in Mageia 5):

So nevermind on this one :o)
