Batik 1.15 fixes some security issues

Hi everyone,

Apache Batik [1] is used by Apache POI to work with SVG pictures that can be embedded in Microsoft documents. It is an optional dependency of poi-ooxml and it appears that we only support it in the XSLF packages for pptx files.

Batik 1.15 has just been released and contains a number of security fixes. [2] [3] [4]

We recommend that all users who use the Batik support in poi-ooxml upgrade to Batik 1.15. We do not expect that anyone upgrading from batik 1.14 to 1.15 will see any issues.
There is no plan to do a special POI release because this an optional dependency.

Batik 1.16 fixes a security issue

Posted by PJ Fanning <fa...@yahoo.com.INVALID>.

Hi everyone,

Apache Batik 1.16 has been released and contains a security fix [1].

As with the Batik 1.15 release, there is no plan for a poi-ooxml release just to upgrade the dependency. Batik is an optional dependency.

POI users can simply update their own builds to use the newer Batik jars. This should be a smooth upgrade.

Regards,
PJ

Question please: as far as I can see it, Batik still pulls
JAXEN/XercesImpl -- has this been taken care of?

Thanks for the heads up!
I wished Apache FOP (or central apache) would be so alert.

Much appreciated!
