Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64498
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:165 (ghostscript)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to ghostscript;announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:165.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to ghostscript
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:165.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in ghostscript:

Multiple integer overflows in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a crafted
image file, related to integer multiplication for memory allocation
(CVE-2008-3520).

Buffer overflow in the jas_stream_printf function in
libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via
vectors related to the mif_hdr_put function and use of vsprintf
(CVE-2008-3522).

Previously the ghostscript packages were statically built against
a bundled and private copy of the jasper library. This update makes
ghostscript link against the shared system jasper library which
makes it easier to address presumptive future security issues in the
jasper library.

Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
