inkscape: insecure temp files

Package(s):inkscape CVE #(s):CVE-2005-3885
Created:December 5, 2005 Updated:December 7, 2005
Description: Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña discovered that Inkscape's ps2epsi.sh script, which converts PostScript files to Encapsulated PostScript format, creates a temporary file in an insecure way. A local attacker could exploit this with a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running Inkscape.
