Debian: DSA 1214-2 Urgent: gv Buffer Overflow Security Risk Alert

Updated package.. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 1214-2 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff December 27th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : gv Vulnerability : buffer overflow Problem-Type : local(remote) Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2006-5864 Debian Bug : 398292 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. Upgrade Instructions - --------------------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.
