Detail

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in graphviz:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the push_subg function in parser.y (lib/graph/parser.c) in Graphviz 2.20.2, and possibly earlier versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a DOT file with a large number of Agraph_t elements (CVE-2008-4555).

This update provides a fix for this vulnerability.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.
