    Package : ghostscript
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6725 CVE-2008-3522 CVE-2008-6679 CVE-2009-0196 CVE-2009-0792 CVE-2009-4270 CVE-2010-1869

    Several security issues have been discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, which might lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code if a user processes a malformed PDF or Postscript file.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny4.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 8.71~dfsg-4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
