openSUSE 10 Security Update : gv (gv-2350)

high Nessus Plugin ID 27257

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The previous 'gv' update to fix a stack overflow did not completely fix the problem spotted. An attacker could still cause the handling to use up all system memory, or open windows much wider than the X display and crash. Code execution however was not possible.

Solution

Update the affected gv package.
