Issue date: 2009-04-14

CVE Names: CVE-2007-6725 CVE-2009-0792

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated ghostscript packages that fix multiple security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

 

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, 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 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

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.

 

It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:0345 did not

address all possible integer overflow flaws 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 that could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially,

execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0792)

 

A missing boundary check was found in Ghostscript's CCITTFax decoding

filter. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript or PDF file

that could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary

code when opened. (CVE-2007-6725)

 

Users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain backported patches 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

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

491853 - CVE-2009-0792 ghostscript, argyllcms: Incomplete fix for CVE-2009-0583

493442 - CVE-2007-6725 ghostscript: DoS (crash) in CCITTFax decoding filter
