Two security issues have been discovered in ghostscript, the GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF interpreter. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2009-0583 Jan Lieskovsky discovered multiple integer overflows in the ICC library, which allow the execution of arbitrary code via crafted ICC profiles in PostScript files with embedded images.
CVE-2009-0584 Jan Lieskovsky discovered insufficient upper-bounds checks on certain variable sizes in the ICC library, which allow the execution of arbitrary code via crafted ICC profiles in PostScript files with embedded images.
