    <p>
    Joxean Koret discovered that the SVG import plugin in Dia fails to
    properly sanitise data read from an SVG file.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could create a specially crafted SVG file, which, when
    imported into Dia, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Dia users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/dia-0.94-r3&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
