Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-614-1 xzgv

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Luke "infamous41md" discovered multiple vulnerabilities in xzgv, a
picture viewer for X11 with a thumbnail-based selector. Remote
exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability could permit the
execution of arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.7-6woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your xzgv package immediately.
