Synopsis:	Important: ghostscript security update
Issue date:	2008-02-27
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-0411


Chris Evans from the Google Security Team reported a stack-based buffer
overflow flaw in Ghostscript's zseticcspace() function. An attacker 
could create a malicious PostScript file that would cause Ghostscript to 
execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2008-0411)

These updated packages also fix a bug, which prevented the pxlmono 
printer driver from producing valid output on Scientific Linux 4.
