Detail

Marc Schoenefeld discovered that an integer overflow in the ICC parsing code of Ghostscript can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 8.71~dfsg2-9+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 9.05~dfsg-6.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 9.05~dfsg-6.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
