Description:
Previous versions of the inkscape package are vulnerable to attacks which would allow unauthorized system access at the permission level of the user running inkscape (usually non-root). One attack vector is by coercing a user into opening a specially crafted URI, while the other requires that the user be logged into a malicious jabber server using the client provided in inkscape.
