-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : gv/kghostview SUMMARY : Buffer overflow vulnerability DATE : 2002-10-31 14:45:00 ID : CLA-2002:542 RELEVANT RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0, 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION gv is a program which uses the Ghostscript PostScript interpreter to display PostScript and PDF documents under the X Window System. kghostview is a KDE application which does the same. Zen Parse found[1] a buffer overflow vulnerability in gv version 3.5.8 and earlier. kghostview (from kdegraphics versions prior to 3.0.4) is also affected, since it has some code derived from the same project. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating a carefully crafted pdf file that, when opened by gv or kghostview, causes the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0838 to this issue[2]. SOLUTION All gv and kdegraphics users are advised to upgrade.
