GPL Ghostscript: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

GPL Ghostscript: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code An integer overflow in GPL Ghostscript may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. ghostscript-gpl 2016-12-13 2016-12-13 556316 remote 9.09 9.09

Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF.

An integer overflow flaw was discovered that leads to an out-of-bounds read and write in gs_ttf.ps.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.09"
