    March 20, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : ghostscript
    Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Ids : CVE-2009-0583 CVE-2009-0584


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


    CVE-2009-0583

    Jan Lieskovsky discovered multiple integer overflows in the ICC library,
    which allow the execution of arbitrary code via crafted ICC profiles in PostScript files with embedded images.

    CVE-2009-0584

    Jan Lieskovsky discovered insufficient upper-bounds checks on certain
    variable sizes in the ICC library, which allow the execution of
    arbitrary code via crafted ICC profiles in PostScript files with
    embedded images.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny1.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
    in version 8.54.dfsg.1-5etch2. Please note that the package in oldstable
    is called gs-gpl.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.


    We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript/gs-gpl packages.
