Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Ghostscript command execution vulnerability
Notes
Topic
Updated packages are available for GNU Ghostscript which fix a
vulnerability found during Postscript interpretation.
Details
Ghostscript is a program for displaying PostScript files or printing them
to non-PostScript printers.
An untrusted PostScript file can cause ghostscript to execute arbitrary
commands due to insufficient checking. Since ghostscript is often used
during the course of printing a document (and is run as user 'lp'), all
users should install these fixed packages.
The problem is fixed in the 6.53 source release of GNU Ghostscript, and the
fix has been backported and applied to the packages referenced by this
advisory.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2002-0363 to this issue.
Please note that this vulnerability is different to the 'local file read'
issue corrected by our previous Ghostscript errata (RHSA-2001:112 and
RHSA-2001:138)
