Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2093-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the DSA-2093-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the DSA-2093-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Two security issues have been discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-4897 A buffer overflow was discovered that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF document containing a long name. CVE-2010-1628 Dan Rosenberg discovered that ghostscript incorrectly handled certain recursive Postscript files. An attacker could execute arbitrary code via a PostScript file containing unlimited recursive procedure invocations, which trigger memory corruption in the stack of the interpreter. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny5 For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 8.71~ dfsg2-4 We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript package. Affected Software/OS: 'ghostscript' package(s) on Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
