Package : dia

Date : February 16, 2009

Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where

Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong

handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary

code via Python scripting in the current dia working directory
