Inkscape before 0.48.4 reads .eps files from /tmp instead of the current directory, which might cause Inkspace to process unintended files, allow local users to obtain sensitive information, and possibly have other unspecified impacts.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
