Description

Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team identified a flaw     in the handling of image filenames by xv.

Impact :

Successful exploitation would require a victim to process a specially     crafted image with a malformed filename, potentially resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
