Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-05-19 05:51:48 UTC
CVE-2021-42700:

Inkscape 0.19 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information.

CVE-2021-42702:

Inkscape version 0.19 can access an uninitialized pointer, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information.

CVE-2021-42704:

Inkscape version 0.19 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write, which may allow an attacker to arbitrary execute code.

URL is the only reference for these CVEs, no references to upstream to
verify where these issues were fixed. Unsure whether we're fixed.

Why do we trust that CISA isn't using arbitrary version numbers that appear to be compatible with the CVEs? We need to be able to verify these things rather than trust seemingly arbitrary assertions by third parties.
