How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest inkscape to version 0.42-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream inkscape package and not the inkscape package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The ps2epsi extension shell script (ps2epsi.sh) in Inkscape before 0.41 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the tmpepsifile.epsi temporary file.
