CVE Reference:
CVE-2009-0583, CVE-2009-0584, CVE-2009-0792
(Links to External Site)
|
Updated: Apr 14 2009
|
Original Entry Date: Mar 20 2009
|
Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via local system, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via local system, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): 8.64
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Ghostscript. A user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A user can create a specially crafted International Color Consortium (ICC) file. When the target user opens a specially crafted PostScript or PDF file containing embedded images, a buffer overflow may occur and arbitrary code may be executed with the privileges of the target user.
The vulnerability resides in 'icclib/icc.c'.
|
Impact:
A user can create a file that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.

3. Description:
Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM)
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.
Multiple integer overflow flaws which could lead to heap-based buffer
overflows, as well as multiple insufficient input validation flaws, were
found 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 which could cause
Ghostscript to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened
by the victim. (CVE-2009-0583, CVE-2009-0584)
All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct 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
