Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 1243-1 (evince)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to evince announced via advisory DSA 1243-1. 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. Evince embeds a copy of gv and needs an update as well. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.5-2sarge1. For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 0.4.0-3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.4.0-3. We recommend that you upgrade your evince package. Solution: https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201243-1 CVSS Score: 5.1 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
