Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Inkscape

Inkscape is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue occurs when the application fails to do proper bounds checking on user-supplied data before copying it into a finite-sized buffer. When a malformed SVG image file is processed, it leads to a buffer overflow, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the victim user.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update Inkscape to the latest version available from the vendor. Additionally, users should exercise caution when opening SVG image files from untrusted sources.
