I sent a patch to Pixman's fast-path a month ago, and then a couple of messages 
to their mailing list, but didn't hear any more since the last I wrote.  See

Note that what I sent are just some probationary patches looking for a resolution.

IIR, the only other rowstride-overflow bug was in cairo:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838648

Thus, the burden lies rather with the accompanying libraries than inkscape 
sources proper.
