------- Additional Comments From j.w.r.degoede(a)hhs.nl  2006-05-20 08:45 EST -------
Fixed using the patch attached to upstream's BZ (after checking / verifying it).
The fix has been imported into CVS, build and pushed for FC-5 and devel.

I assume the Security Response Team will take care of the security announcement?

And yes, this most definetly is a vulnerability. The current example of the
string format vulnerability is rather harmless, but I _think_ it will be
possbile to exploit this by getting people to open malformed files with dia.
