Synopsis: Moderate: ghostscript security update Issue Date: 2012-09-11 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-4405 Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript 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. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library (icclib). An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Ghostscript. (CVE-2012-4405) Users of Ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
