Synopsis
========
Format string vulnerabilities in Dia may lead to the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Dia is a GTK+ based diagram creation program.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-office/dia < 0.95.1 >= 0.95.1
Description
===========
KaDaL-X discovered a format string error within the handling of
filenames. Hans de Goede also discovered several other format string
errors in the processing of dia files.
Impact
======
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted file, a remote attacker
could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the
rights of the user running the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Dia users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/dia-0.95.1"
