Summary

fop security update

Details

FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.

Security Fix(es):

Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE') vulnerability in Apache XML Graphics FOP.

This issue affects Apache XML Graphics FOP: 2.9.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10, which fixes the issue.(CVE-2024-28168)
