Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:214
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : gv
Date : November 17, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ps_gettext function in ps.c for GNU
gv 3.6.2, and possibly earlier versions, allows user-assisted attackers
to execute arbitrary code via a PostScript (PS) file with certain
headers that contain long comments, as demonstrated using the
DocumentMedia header.

Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
