Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882624
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for ghostscript CESA-2017:0013 centos7
Summary:Check the version of ghostscript
Description:Summary:
Check the version of ghostscript

Vulnerability Insight:
The Ghostscript suite contains utilities
for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript
code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that the ghostscript functions getenv, filenameforall and
.libfile did not honor the -dSAFER option, usually used when processing
untrusted documents, leading to information disclosure. A specially crafted
postscript document could read environment variable, list directory and
retrieve file content respectively, from the target. (CVE-2013-5653,
CVE-2016-7977)

* It was found that the ghostscript function .setdevice suffered a
use-after-free vulnerability due to an incorrect reference count. A
specially crafted postscript document could trigger code execution in the
context of the gs process. (CVE-2016-7978)

* It was found that the ghostscript function .initialize_dsc_parser did not
validate its parameter before using it, allowing a type confusion flaw. A
specially crafted postscript document could cause a crash code execution in
the context of the gs process. (CVE-2016-7979)

* It was found that ghostscript did not sufficiently check the validity of
parameters given to the .sethalftone5 function. A specially crafted
postscript document could cause a crash, or execute arbitrary code in the
context of the gs process. (CVE-2016-8602)

Affected Software/OS:
ghostscript on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
