Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55504
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-193-1 (dia)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to dia
announced via advisory USN-193-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected: dia-common

Joxean Koret discovered that the SVG import plugin did not properly
sanitise data read from an SVG file. By tricking an user into opening
a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.94.0-5ubuntu1.1. After a standard system upgrade you have
to restart dia to effect the necessary changes.
