- Zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow in gv, a PostScript and PDF
- viewer for X11. This problem is triggered by scanning the PostScript
- file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed
- PostScript or PDF file. The attacker is able to cause arbitrary code
- to be run with the privileges of the victim.
- This problem has been fixed in version 3.5.8-26.1 for the current
- stable distribution (woody), in version 3.5.8-17.1 for the old stable
- distribution (potato) and version 3.5.8-27 for the unstable
- distribution (sid).
- We recommend that you upgrade your gv package.
