<p> |
52 |
Jan Lieskovsky from the Red Hat Security Response Team discovered the |
53 |
following vulnerabilities in Ghostscript's ICC Library: |
54 |
</p> |
55 |
<ul> |
56 |
<li>Multiple integer overflows (CVE-2009-0583).</li> |
57 |
<li>Multiple |
58 |
insufficient bounds checks on certain variable sizes |
59 |
(CVE-2009-0584).</li> |
60 |
</ul> |
61 |

<impact type="normal"> |
63 |
<p> |
64 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
65 |
PostScript file containing images and a malicious ICC profile, possibly |
66 |
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
67 |
user running the application. |
68 |
</p> |
69 |
</impact> |
70 |
<workaround> |
71 |
<p> |
72 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
73 |
</p> |

</workaround> |
75 |
<resolution> |
76 |
<p> |
77 |
All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version: |
78 |
</p> |
79 |
<code> |
80 |
# emerge --sync |
81 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.64-r2"</code> |
82 |
<p> |
83 |
All GNU Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version: |
84 |
</p> |
85 |
<code> |
86 |
# emerge --sync |
87 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gnu-8.62.0"</code> |
88 |
<p> |
89 |
We recommend that users unmerge ESP Ghostscript and use GPL or GNU |
90 |
Ghostscript instead: |
91 |
</p> |
92 |
<code> |
93 |
# emerge --unmerge "app-text/ghostscript-esp"</code> |
94 |
<p> |
