Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : dia vulnerabilities (USN-266-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 21183

Synopsis

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

Description

Three buffer overflows were discovered in the Xfig file format importer. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .fig file with dia, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

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.
