Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:214-1
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : gv
Date : December 4, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Stack-based buffer overflow in the ps_gettext function in ps.c for GNU
gv 3.6.2, and possibly earlier versions, allows user-assisted attackers
to execute arbitrary code via a PostScript (PS) file with certain
headers that contain long comments, as demonstrated using the
DocumentMedia header.
Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
Update:
The patch used in the previous update still left the possibility of
causing X to consume unusual amounts of memory if gv is used to view a
carefully crafted image designed to exploit CVE-2006-5864. This update
uses an improved patch to address this issue.
