Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Inkscape.

Software Description: - inkscape: vector-based drawing program

Details:

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)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
inkscape 0.48.3.1-1ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
inkscape 0.48.3.1-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
inkscape 0.48.2-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
inkscape 0.47.0-2ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
