Discussion

DIA XFIG File Import Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Dia is affected by multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. These issues are due to the application's failure to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into insufficiently sized memory buffers.

These issues allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the user running the affected application to open attacker-supplied malicious XFig files.
