NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures have been available since 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by these issues.
GNU gv improperly handles user-supplied data possibly allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-text/gv | * | < 3.6.2-r1 | >= 3.6.2-r1 |
GNU gv is a viewer for PostScript and PDF documents.
GNU gv does not properly boundary check user-supplied data before copying it into process buffers.
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document with GNU gv and execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user on the system.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All gv users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/gv-3.6.2-r1"
gv contains an exploitable buffer overflow that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-text/gv | * | <= 3.5.8-r3 | >= 3.5.8-r4 |
gv is a PostScript and PDF viewer for X which provides a user interface for the ghostscript interpreter.
gv contains a buffer overflow vulnerability where an unsafe sscanf() call is used to interpret PDF and PostScript files.
By enticing a user to view a malformed PDF or PostScript file an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running gv.
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version of gv.
All gv users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=app-text/gv-3.5.8-r4" # emerge ">=app-text/gv-3.5.8-r4"
