Doc Text:
A flaw was found in CairoSVG. A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing a specially crafted Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file containing paths with numerous segments. Inefficient path processing leads to excessive CPU resource consumption during rendering, causing the application to become unresponsive.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-08 18:21:48 UTC 
CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to 2.9.1, rendering an attacker-controlled SVG with a path containing many segments can cause quadratic CPU consumption in cairosvg/path.py. The path tokenizer repeatedly slices and rescans the remaining path data, while draw_markers drains node.vertices with node.vertices.pop(0), causing repeated linear-time work. The svg2png, svg2pdf, and svg2ps APIs reach these operations during ordinary rendering, allowing a sub-megabyte SVG to consume substantial CPU and deny service to a rendering application. This issue is fixed in version 2.9.1.
