Inkscape

Crash when opening SVG file with dangling feBlend or feFlood filters

Asked by André GILLIBERT

Any SVG file produced by the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) 9.3 statistical software, crashes Inkscape 0.92.1 when open.
This can be reduced to a bug on dangling filters.

Steps to reproduce :
1) Install Inkscape 0.92.1 on Windows 7 64 bits (not tested on other systems)
2) Create a bug.svg file containing the following code:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<feBlend></feBlend>
</svg>

3) Open this SVG file with Inkscape

It produces this error message and closes immediately :
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
---------------------------
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
---------------------------

Expected behavior : Open Inkscape with a blank page.

Same bug for the following file:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<feFlood></feFlood>
</svg>

So SAS produces invalid SVG code? :/

Inkscape shouldn't crash upon loading, though.
Please report any bugs in the bugs section (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape) or convert this into a bug report.
