+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Kees Cook has discovered two vulnerabilities in Inkscape. The
+ application does not properly handle format string specifiers in some
+ dialog boxes. Inkscape is also vulnerable to another format string
+ error in its Jabber whiteboard protocol.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted URI,
+ possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code 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-0.45.1"</code>
