Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 1214-2 (gv)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to gv
announced via advisory DSA 1214-2.

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.
