(mgv: Stack overflow in included gv code)

    mgv includes code from gv that 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 Postscript
    document with mgv and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights
    of the user running mgv.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
