    Package        : librsvg
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-96889

    It was discovered that librsvg, a library to render Scalable Vector
    Graphics, incorrectly parsed files with nested XML includes, which could
    result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary
    code.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.60.0+dfsg-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your librsvg packages.

    For the detailed security status of librsvg please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/librsvg

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
