The issue was fixed upstream in 0.48.4 (which we have in Cauldron).

Comment 2 David Walser 2013-01-10 19:47:23 CET

If we wanted to patch it, it's not as simple as rediffing the upstream change, as the code has changed quite a bit.  We probably need to just upgrade it to 0.48.4.

Comment 3 David Walser 2013-01-10 22:21:46 CET

Updated package uploaded for Mageia 2.

Advisory:
========================

Updated inkscape package fixes security vulnerability:

An XML eXternal Entity (XXE) flaw was found in the way Inkscape before 0.48.4
performed rasterization of certain SVG images. A remote attacker could
provide a specially-crafted SVG image that, when opened in inkscape would
lead to arbitrary local file disclosure or denial of service (CVE-2012-5656).

Ubuntu has issued an advisory today (January 30):
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1712-1/

It fixes this issue as well as CVE-2012-6076.

According to Ubuntu, CVE-2012-6076 was also fixed in 0.48.4, so we're good.
