<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Evince includes code from GNU gv that does not properly boundary check
|
|
user-supplied data before copying it into process buffers.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PostScript
|
|
document with Evince and possibly execute arbitrary code with the
|
|
rights of the user running Evince.
