Package name dia
Date October 20th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:187
Affected versions 10.2, 2006.0

Problem Description

Joxean Koret discovered that the Python SVG import plugin in dia,
a vector-oriented diagram editor, does not properly sanitise data
read from an SVG file and is hence vulnerable to execute arbitrary
Python code.

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
