Fedora 9 FEDORA-2009-1057 Critical: Dia Python Module Risk Mitigation

The Dia drawing program is designed to be like the Windows(TM) Visio

program. Dia can be used to draw different types of diagrams, and

includes support for UML static structure diagrams (class diagrams),

entity relationship modeling, and network diagrams. Dia can load and

save diagrams to a custom file format, can load and save in .xml format,

and can export to PostScript(TM).

Filter out untrusted python modules search path to remove the possibility to run

arbitrary code on the user's system if there is a python file in dia's working

directory named the same as one that dia's python scripts try to import.
