Debian-specific: No
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-3737 

CVE-2005-3737

	Joxean Koret discovered that inkscape is vulnerable in the SVG importer
	(style.cpp), which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
	via a SVG file with long CSS style property values.

For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version
0.43-0.0etch1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
0.43-1

This upgrade is recommended if you use inkscape.

The Debian testing security team does not track security issues for the
stable (sarge) and oldstable (woody) distributions. If stable is vulnerable,
the Debian security team will make an announcement once a fix is ready.
