Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The following security issue was fixed in ghostscript :

Multiple integer underflows in the icmLut_allocate function in International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library (icclib), as used in Ghostscript 9.06 and Argyll Color Management System, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded images, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE:
this issue is also described as an array index error.

Solution

Update the affected ghostscript packages.
