GV Malformed PDF/PS File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

gv is a freely available, open source Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript (PS) viewing utility. It is available for Unix and Linux operating systems.

It has been reported that an insecure sscanf() function exists in gv. Due to this function, an attacker may be able to put malicious code in the %%PageOrder: portion of a file. When this malicious file is opened with gv, the code would be executed in the security context of the user opening the file.
