Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for ghostscript CESA-2017:1230 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.

passed to the .rsdparams and .eqproc functions. During its execution, a
specially crafted PostScript document could execute code in the context of
the ghostscript process, bypassing the -dSAFER protection. (CVE-2017-8291)

Affected Software/OS:
ghostscript on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
