Synopsis
========
Improperly sanitised data in Dia allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Dia is a gtk+ based diagram creation program released under the GPL
license.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-office/dia < 0.94-r3 >= 0.94-r3
Description
===========
Joxean Koret discovered that the SVG import plugin in Dia fails to
properly sanitise data read from an SVG file.
Impact
======
An attacker could create a specially crafted SVG file, which, when
imported into Dia, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Dia users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/dia-0.94-r3"
