Have a question.  If this has been fixed for FC5 (or, I guess the technically
correct moniker would be "FE5"), and this is a security issue -- so people who
need to know (and don't have yum automatically set to update their FC5 systems)
DO know that this has been fixed -- should there not be an announcement for this
fix and the CVE-2006-2480 fix (in Bug 192535) published to the
fedora-package-announce list, like Caolan McNamara's announcement here?:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2006-May/msg00119.html

Not everybody has yum working to automatically update their FC5 installs, so
unless there is an announcement somewhere, how will they know to update their
dia to dia-0.95-3??

Another unrelated question:  Do you mind if we in Fedora Legacy backport the
fixes you made for maintaining the older legacy versions of dia?  If so, may we
include you, Hans, in the cc: list for such a bugzilla entry?  The open Bugzilla
Bug Fedora Legacy has for dia currently is Bug #190942, in which we also
discovered that the CVE-2005-2966 may not have been covered either here, in FC,
or in RHEL...  (This CVE may not affect FedoraExtras, but may affect Fedora Core
4, RHEL 4/3/2.x?...)
