Description


USN-3866-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Ghostscript. The new Ghostscript version introduced a regression when printing certain page sizes. This update fixes the problem.

Tavis Ormandy discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain PostScript files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service.
