+ 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: +
