Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50979
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:182
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2003:182.

GNU Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language, and is often
used when printing to printers that do not have their own built-in
PostScript interpreter.

A flaw has been discovered in the way Ghostscript validates some PostScript
commands. This flaw allows an attacker to force commands to be executed by
a print spooler by submitting a malicious print job. Note that using the
- -dSAFER option is not sufficient to prevent command execution.

Users of Ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which are not vulnerable to this issue.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
