Detail
| Zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow in gv, a PostScript and PDF viewer for X11. The same code is present in gnome-gv. This problem is triggered by scanning the PostScript file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed PostScript or PDF file. The attacker is able to cause arbitrary code to be run with the privileges of the victim. This problem has been fixed in version 1.1.96-3.1 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 0.82-2.1 for the old stable distribution (potato) and version 1.99.7-9 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your gnome-gv package. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
