BMV PostScript File Handling Integer Overflow Vulnerability

BMV is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability.

This issue arises when the application handles a malformed PostScript file.

A successful attack may result in arbitrary code execution leading to unauthorized access. Reports indicate that on some distributions, BMV is installed setuid root by default. This may allow an attacker to gain superuser privileges by exploiting this issue.
