Synopsis:	Moderate: ghostscript security update
Issue date:	2009-04-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-6725 CVE-2008-6679 CVE-2009-0196
                 CVE-2009-0792

It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:0345 did 
not address all possible integer overflow flaws in Ghostscript's 
International Color Consortium Format library (icclib). Using 
specially-crafted ICC profiles, an attacker could create a malicious 
PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that could cause Ghostscript 
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. 
(CVE-2009-0792)

A buffer overflow flaw and multiple missing boundary checks were found 
in Ghostscript. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript 
or PDF file that could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, 
execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2008-6679, CVE-2007-6725, 
CVE-2009-0196)
