VULHUB ™

gv is reported prone to multiple remote buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These issues exist due to insufficient checking performed by the application on file headers for PostScript and PDF documents. These vulnerabilities exist in the 'psscan' function of the 'ps.c' file. The vulnerabilities include multiple stack and heap based buffer overflows. A number of the stack overflows have been specified, however, there are also a number of unspecified heap overflows. Successful exploitation of these issues may result in an attacker executing arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access. This would occur in the context of the vulnerable application. It should be noted that applications such as Web browsers may use the software as an automatic handler for PostScript and PDF files.
