Does Libreoffice use pixman to convert soffice files into pdfs? If yes, when does it use it?
Pixman has a security vulnerability, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2139988 I would like to understand if Libre Office is at risk.
Pixman is not used to convert to PDF, what even gives you that idea? Cairo canvas uses pixman internally, the bundled pixman (on platforms where libraries are bundled, i.e. Windows) is 0.42.2 that has the fix. On Linux systems usually the libraries provided by the OS are used instead of bundled, so any decent distribution shouldn’t be affected either as pixman 0.42.2 was released already over a year ago.
Thank you for your reply. We use libre office to build out PDF’s. What is Cairo canvas?
A graphics library https://www.cairographics.org/ using https://pixman.org/, by default only used on Linux.
