Background
Dia is a gtk+ based diagram creation program released under the GPL license.
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"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoo | any | all | app-office/dia | < 0.94-r3 | UNKNOWN |
