The remote host is missing an update to dia announced via advisory DSA 847-1. Joxean Koret discovered that the Python SVG import plugin in dia, a vector-oriented diagram editor, does not properly sanitise data read from an SVG file and is hence vulnerable to execute arbitrary Python code. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.94.0-7sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.94.0-15. We recommend that you upgrade your dia package. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20847-1
