CVE-2006-2480 Information

Description

Format string vulnerability in Dia 0.94 allows user-assisted 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 for input that are automatically processed by Dia such as a crafted .dia file.
