Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68244
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:136 (ghostscript)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to ghostscript
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:136.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ghostscript:

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

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2010.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
