Description:
Joxean Koret has reported a vulnerability in Dia, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the insecure use of the "eval()" function in "plug-ins/python/diasvg_import.py". This can be exploited to execute arbitrary python code when a malicious SVG file is imported.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.94. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Do not import SVG files from untrusted source.
