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" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2453 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2453 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-2480 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2480 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200606-03.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
