Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:214-1 (gv)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gv announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:214-1. 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. Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2006:214-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 5.1
