SuSE9 Security Update : gv (YOU Patch Number 11335)

high Nessus Plugin ID 41107

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 9 host is missing a security-related patch.

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

Apply YOU patch number 11335.
