    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Dia users should upgrade to the latest available version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/dia-0.95.1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
