USN-501-2: Ghostscript vulnerability

Posted by Bob on: 10/23/2007 01:25 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

A new Ghostscript vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:




Ubuntu Security Notice USN-501-2 October 22, 2007
ghostscript, gs-gpl vulnerability
CVE-2007-2721
==========================
==========================
=========

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.10:
gs-gpl 8.50-1.1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
gs-gpl 8.54.dfsg.1-5ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 7.10:
libgs8 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-0ubuntu3.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to affect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-501-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Jasper. This update provides the
corresponding update for the Jasper internal to Ghostscript.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Jasper did not correctly handle corrupted JPEG2000
images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted JPG, a
remote attacker could cause the application using libjasper to crash,
resulting in a denial of service.
