Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNOME Dia versions prior to 2019-11-27

Description The issue occurs when GNOME Dia is launched with a filename argument that is not a valid codepoint in the current encoding, causing it to enter an endless loop and write text to stdout. If launched from a thumbnailer service, this output can be written to disk via the system's logging facility, potentially with elevated privileges, leading to disk fill-up and system unavailability. The filename can be for a nonexistent file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2019-11-27, update to a version released after 2019-11-27 to resolve the issue.
