3. Description:

 

The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF

documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats

so that the code can be displayed or printed.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* It was found that the ghostscript functions getenv, filenameforall and

.libfile did not honor the -dSAFER option, usually used when processing

untrusted documents, leading to information disclosure. A specially crafted

postscript document could read environment variable, list directory and

retrieve file content respectively, from the target. (CVE-2013-5653,

CVE-2016-7977)

 

* It was found that the ghostscript function .initialize_dsc_parser did not

validate its parameter before using it, allowing a type confusion flaw. A

specially crafted postscript document could cause a crash code execution in

the context of the gs process. (CVE-2016-7979)

 

* It was found that ghostscript did not sufficiently check the validity of

parameters given to the .sethalftone5 function. A specially crafted

postscript document could cause a crash, or execute arbitrary code in the

context of the gs process. (CVE-2016-8602)
