The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4436-2 advisory.

USN-4436-1 fixed a vulnerability in librsvg. The upstream fix caused a regression when parsing certain SVG     files. This update backs out the fix pending further investigation.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that librsvg incorrectly handled parsing certain SVG

files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause librsvg to

crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu

16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-11464)

It was discovered that librsvg incorrectly handled parsing certain SVG

files with nested patterns. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue

to cause librsvg to consume resources and crash, resulting in a denial of

service. (CVE-2019-20446)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
