Debian Security Advisory DSA 1214-2 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
December 27th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : gv
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-5864
Debian Bug : 398292
The original update provided in DSA 1214-1 was insufficient; this update
corrects this. For reference the original advisory below:
Renaud Lifchitz discovered that gv, the PostScript and PDF viewer for X,
performs insufficient boundary checks in the Postscript parsing code,
which allows the execution of arbitrary code through a buffer overflow.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6.1-10sarge2.
For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been
fixed in version 3.6.2-2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6.2-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your gv package.
