SUSE has issued an advisory on April 23:
https://lists.suse.com/pipermail/sle-security-updates/2021-April/008674.html

It appears to be a variation of the same thing for older versions.

Summary: librsvg new security issue CVE-2021-25900 => librsvg new security issue CVE-2018-20991 / CVE-2021-25900

If the issue is resolved in smallvec 0.6.1, then neither Mageia 8 nor Mageia 7 should be affected by this issue. SUSE just had outdated versions of librsvg.

Mageia 8 (librsvg 2.50.3):

[[package]]
name = "smallvec"
version = "1.6.1"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
checksum = "fe0f37c9e8f3c5a4a66ad655a93c74daac4ad00c441533bf5c6e7990bb42604e"

Mageia 7 (librsvg :

[[package]]
name = "smallvec"
version = "0.6.6"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
dependencies = [
 "unreachable 1.0.0 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

The openSUSE advisory was bogus, the CVE is clearer: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-25900

> An issue was discovered in the smallvec crate before 0.6.14 and 1.x before
> 1.6.1 for Rust. There is a heap-based buffer overflow in SmallVec::insert_many.

So only Mageia 7 is affected (0.6.3 < 0.6.6 < 0.6.14). Mageia 8 already has the fixed version.

Whiteboard: MGA7TOO => (none)
Source RPM: librsvg-2.50.2-2.mga8.src.rpm => librsvg-2.45.5-3.1.mga7.src.rpm
Version: 8 => 7

Thanks, I have no idea how you checked that.  So only CVE-2021-25900 is relevant.  CVE-2018-20991 was fixed before Mageia 7.

I checked the Cargo.lock file in the source tarball which documents which versions of crates should be used.

I made a tentative fix for Mageia 7 backporting the rust-smallvec patch to the vendored librsvg crate. I couldn't test locally as we don't have libcroco-0.6 on Cauldron anymore, and the buildsystem seems to be stuck since 15 hours, so we'll know later if that worked :)

Confirmed that CVE-2018-20991 only affects smallvec < 0.6.3 so we're good.

Summary: librsvg new security issue CVE-2018-20991 / CVE-2021-25900 => librsvg new security issue CVE-2021-25900

Seems to have worked after a tweak to Cargo.toml. For interested packagers, when patching vendored Rust crates, you need to add a `[patch]` section in the main `Cargo.toml` to specify that a patched version is used (otherwise cargo will refuse building the modified crate as its hash doesn't match what is expected from the original): http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/7/librsvg/current/SOURCES/0001-smallvec-Include-fix-for-CVE-2021-25900.patch?view=markup&pathrev=1729265

Advisory:
=========

Updated librsvg packages fix security vulnerability

  This update patches the vendored `smallvec` Rust crate in librsvg to fix a
  security vulnerability:

  The Iterator implementation mishandles destructors, leading to a double free
  (CVE-2021-25900).

Installed tuxpaint and played about with it.  The image was saved in
~/.tuxpaint/saved/20210604182908.png

$ strace -o tuxpaint.trace tuxpaint
$ grep rsvg tuxpaint.trace
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib64/librsvg-2.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

Restarted tuxpaint; it showed the last newbie picture.

Launched mate-system-monitor under strace:

$ grep rsvg matemonitor | less
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib64/librsvg-2.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
....
read(13, "/librsvg-2.so.2.46.0 (deleted)\nS"..., 1024) = 1024
....
read(13, "ib64/librsvg-2.so.2.46.0\nSize:  "..., 1024) = 1024

Other packages which use these libraries are vlc-plugin-common, pix, mate-panel, emacs, eom, ....

Tried out pix - an image viewer and video player - OK.
Using emacs to write this report.
eom works.
