Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

A format string vulnerability in Dia allows user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering errors or warnings, as demonstrated via format string specifiers in a .bmp filename. NOTE: the original exploit was demonstrated through a command line argument, but there are other mechanisms inputs that are automatically process by Dia, such as a crafted .dia file. (CVE-2006-2480)
