-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-3709 2009-04-15 21:11:44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : ghostscript Product : Fedora 10 Version : 8.63 Release : 6.fc10 URL : http://www.ghostscript.com/ Summary : A PostScript(TM) interpreter and renderer. Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes several security flaws: CVE-2009-0792 (multiple integer overflows and missing upper-bounds checks in icclib), CVE-2009-0196 (missing boundary check in jbig2dec library), and CVE-2008-6679 (buffer overflow in pdfwrite device). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Apr 15 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> 8.63-6 - Applied patch to fix CVE-2009-0792 (bug #491853). - Applied patch to fix CVE-2009-0196 (bug #493379). - Applied patch to fix CVE-2008-6679 (bug #493445). * Fri Mar 20 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> 8.63-5 - Applied patch to fix CVE-2009-0583 (bug #487742) and CVE-2009-0584 (bug #487744). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #493445 - CVE-2008-6679 ghostscript: Buffer overflow in BaseFont writer module for pdfwrite defice https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493445 [ 2 ] Bug #493379 - CVE-2009-0196 ghostscript: Missing boundary check in Ghostscript's jbig2dec library https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493379 [ 3 ] Bug #491853 - CVE-2009-0792 ghostscript, argyllcms: Incomplete fix for CVE-2009-0583 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491853 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
