Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: dia dia-gnome The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 0.94.0-5ubuntu1.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 0.94.0-11ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After doing a standard system upgrade you need to restart dia to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Several format string vulnerabilities have been discovered in dia. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted dia file, or a file with a specially crafted name, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. |

| Title: | Format string vulnerability in Dia 0.94 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering errors or warnings, as demonstrated via format string specifiers in a .bmp filename. NOTE: the original exploit was demonstrated through a command line argument, but there are other mechanisms for input that are automatically processed by Dia, such as a crafted .dia file. | ||
