Date Reported:

27 Feb 2008

Affected Packages:

gs-esp, gs-gpl

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-0411.

More information:

Chris Evans discovered a buffer overflow in the color space handling code of the Ghostscript PostScript/PDF interpreter, which might result in the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into processing a malformed file.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 8.54.dfsg.1-5etch4 of gs-gpl and 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1etch4 of gs-esp.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 8.01-6 of gs-gpl and 7.07.1-9sarge1 of gs-esp.

The unstable distribution (sid) will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your gs-esp and gs-gpl packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
