New ghostscript packages for Debian

New ghostscript packages to fix several vulnerabilities are available for Debian GNU/Linux




[SECURITY] [DSA 2093-1] New ghostscript packages fix several vulnerabilities
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-2093-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Giuseppe Iuculano
August 19, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : ghostscript
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-4897 CVE-2010-1628
Debian Bug : 584516

Two security issues have been discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:


CVE-2009-4897

It was discovered a buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF
document containing a long name.


CVE-2010-1628

Dan Rosenberg discovered that ghostscript incorrectly handled certain
recursive Postscript files. An attacker could execute arbitrary code
via a PostScript file containing unlimited recursive procedure
invocations, which trigger memory corruption in the stack of the
interpreter.


For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny5

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid),
these problems have been fixed in version 8.71~dfsg2-4

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.


Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
- --------------------------------

Debian (stable)
- ---------------

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
