Background
Dia is a GTK+ based diagram creation program.
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"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoo | any | all | app-office/dia | < 0.95.1 | UNKNOWN |
