+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Joxean Koret has discovered that Inkscape incorrectly allocates
+ memory when opening an SVG file, creating the possibility of a buffer
+ overflow if the SVG file being opened is specially crafted.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user into opening a maliciously crafted
+ SVG file, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code on a machine
+ with the privileges of the user running Inkscape.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Inkscape users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/inkscape-0.43"</code>
