Name : ghostscript Product : Fedora 12 Version : 8.70 Release : 2.fc12 URL : http://www.ghostscript.com/ Summary : A PostScript interpreter and renderer. Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fixed debugging output from CUPS raster driver (CVE-2009-4270) and hardened ghostscript's debugging output functions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Dec 24 2009 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 8.70-2 - Fix debugging output from gdevcups (CVE-2009-4270, bug #540760). - Harden ghostscript's debugging output functions (bug #540760). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #540760 - CVE-2009-4270 ghostscript buffer overflow in cups output driver https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540760 [ 2 ] Bug #550852 - pstoraster fails on signal 6, can't print to HP PSC1610 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550852 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
