Ubuntu 5.04 : dia vulnerability (USN-193-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20607

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

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.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
