What is CVE-2015-7557?

The librsvg library prior to version 2.40.7 contains a vulnerability in the _rsvg_node_poly_build_path function, allowing attackers to exploit an out-of-bounds heap read. This occurs when the function processes SVG documents with an odd number of elements in a coordinate pair. Such a scenario can lead to a denial of service, which may disrupt the normal functioning of applications relying on SVG processing.
