An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.

 

Description:

 

 

This update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues:

 

- Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where

ghostscript's "-dsafer" flag did not provide sufficient protection

against unintended access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would

process a specially crafted Postscript file would potentially leak

sensitive information to an attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, CVE-2016-7977,

bsc#1001951)

 

- Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser

used to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951)

 

- An integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function used to allow

remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via specially

crafted Postscript files. (CVE-2015-3228, boo#939342)
