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"
