Description: Red Hat has issued updated packages for ghostscript. These fix a vulnerability, which potentially could allow malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused by an error, which allows a malicious postscript file to execute arbitrary code on the system even with the option "-dSAFER" enabled. This could be exploited by a malicious person if a user was lured into opening a malicious postscript file. NOTE: The vulnerability is not exploitable, if the option "-dPARANOIDSAFER" has been set. This is the default setting in Red Hat Linux. Solution: Updated packages: -- Red Hat Linux 7.1 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/SRPMS/ghostscript-6.51-16.1.7x.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/ghostscript-6.51-16.1.7x.1.i386.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 7.2 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/SRPMS/ghostscript-6.51-16.3.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/ghostscript-6.51-16.3.i386.rpm ia64: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/ia64/ghostscript-6.51-16.3.ia64.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 7.3 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/SRPMS/ghostscript-6.52-9.5.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/ghostscript-6.52-9.5.i386.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 8.0 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/SRPMS/ghostscript-7.05-20.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/ghostscript-7.05-20.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/ghostscript-devel-7.05-20.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/ghostscript-gtk-7.05-20.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/hpijs-1.1-20.1.i386.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 9 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/SRPMS/ghostscript-7.05-32.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/ghostscript-7.05-32.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/ghostscript-devel-7.05-32.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/hpijs-1.3-32.1.i386.rpm Original Advisory: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-181.html
