Title:RHSA-2006:0541: dia security update (Moderate)
Description:The Dia drawing program is designed to draw various types of diagrams.

  • Several format string flaws were found in the way dia displays certain messages. If an attacker is able to trick a Dia user into opening a carefully crafted file, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Dia. (CVE-2006-2453, CVE-2006-2480)

    Users of Dia should update to these erratum packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.
