I would suggest an SRU for Lucid to fix this bug there as well.

Impact of the bug:
Browsing a directory that contains an SVG file with empty style attributes causes the application to crash. This happens with Nautilus or any application that uses the GTK open file dialog (e.g. Firefox). So this can potentially affect a large number of users.

How the bug has been addressed:
The patch is trivial and adds a check for NULL to the line in rsvg_paint_server_parse that checks the validity of input parameters.

Detailed instruction on how to test this bug are in comment #12.

The potential for regression is very low as the only added code is a
sanity check of input parameters.
