Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update contains a back-ported fix for a security issue that allows malicious PostScript input files to cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-0411).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Update the affected ghostscript package.
