Title:	Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:134 (ghostscript)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ghostscript announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:134. Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in ghostscript: Stack-based buffer overflow in the errprintf function in base/gsmisc.c in ghostscript 8.64 through 8.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, as originally reported for debug logging code in gdevcups.c in the CUPS output driver (CVE-2009-4270). Ghostscript 8.64, 8.70, and possibly other versions allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PostScript file containing unlimited recursive procedure invocations, which trigger memory corruption in the stack of the interpreter (CVE-2010-1628). As a precaution ghostscriptc has been rebuilt to link against the system libpng library which was fixed with MDVSA-2010:133 Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Enterprise Server 5.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2010:134 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.3
