Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Inkscape, a
vector-based drawing program. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    Joxean Koret discovered a buffer overflow in the SVG parsing
    routines that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

    Javier FernΔ‚Δ„ndez-Sanguino PeΔ‚Δ…a noticed that the ps2epsi extension
    shell script uses a hardcoded temporary file making it vulnerable
    to symlink attacks.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain inkscape packages.

version 0.41-4.99.sarge2.
