Detail
| Problem Description: Updated ghostscript packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: Ghostscript is a program for displaying PostScript files, or printing them to non-PostScript printers. 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 431536 - CVE-2008-0411 ghostscript: stack-based buffer overflow in .seticcspace operator |
