URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12156> Summary: -dSAFER security fix Project: GNU gv Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sat 02/26/05 at 23:34 Category: PDF rendering Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open _______________________________________________________ Details: The gv-3.6.1 hack to make pdf files work with gs-8.00 (and later) introduces a security hole: it effectively circumvents the whole point of the -dSAFER option! The right way to fix this is illustrated in the attached patch (which also reverts the current hack). _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat 02/26/05 at 23:34 Name: gv-3.6.1-gs8.patch Size: 2.68KB By: None <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?item_id=12156&item_file_id=2242> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12156> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
