It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:0345 did not
address all possible integer overflow flaws in Ghostscript's International
Color Consortium Format library (icclib). Using specially-crafted ICC
profiles, an attacker could create a malicious PostScript or PDF file with
embedded images that could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0792)
A buffer overflow flaw and multiple missing boundary checks were found in
Ghostscript. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript or PDF
file that could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2008-6679, CVE-2007-6725, CVE-2009-0196)
Red Hat would like to thank Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research for
responsibly reporting the CVE-2009-0196 flaw.
Users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues.");
