Title:	CentOS Update for ghostscript CESA-2012:1256 centos5
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ghostscript'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library (icclib). An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Ghostscript. (CVE-2012-4405) Red Hat would like to thank Marc Schönefeld for reporting this issue. Users of Ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: ghostscript on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
