(GNU gv: Stack overflow)

    GNU gv does not properly boundary check user-supplied data before
    copying it into process buffers.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document
    with GNU gv and execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user on
    the system.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
