Title: USN-961-1 -- ghostscript vulnerabilities

If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain malformed files.
