Mandriva Linux Security Advisory, MDKSA-2006:214-1, says the following:

"The patch used in the previous update still left the possibility of
 causing X to consume unusual amounts of memory if gv is used to view a
 carefully crafted image designed to exploit CVE-2006-5864. This update
 uses an improved patch to address this issue."

For patches see, for example, gv-3.6.1-4.3.20060mdk.src.rpm
