CVE-2012-5656 [MEDIUM] Inkscape vulnerabilities
Title: Inkscape vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Inkscape.
It was discoverd that Inkscape incorrectly handled XML external entities in
SVG files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially-crafted SVG
file, Inkscape could possibly include external files in drawings, resulting
in information disclosure. (CVE-2012-5656)
It was discovered that Inkscape attempted to open certain files from the
/tmp directory instead of the current directory. A local attacker could
trick a user into opening a different file than the one that was intended.
This issue only applied to Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10.
(CVE-2012-6076)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
