GLSA-201811-12

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201811-12 (GPL Ghostscript: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GPL Ghostscript. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for additional information.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted PostScript file or PDF document using GPL Ghostscript possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process, a Denial of Service condition, or other unspecified impacts,   Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for ghostscript-library fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-7207: The mem_get_bits_rectangle function     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted PostScript     document (bsc#1030263).

  - CVE-2017-9835: The gs_alloc_ref_array function allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     PostScript document (bsc#1050879)

  - CVE-2016-10219: The intersect function in base/gxfill.c     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a     crafted file (bsc#1032138)

  - CVE-2017-9216: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in the     jbig2_huffman_get function in jbig2_huffman.c which     allowed for DoS (bsc#1040643)

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may result in denial of service if a specially crafted Postscript file is processed.

Kamil Frankowicz discovered that Ghostscript mishandles references. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2017-11714)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered that Ghostscript could allow a heap-based buffer over-read and application crash. A remote attacker could use a crafted document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9611, CVE-2017-9726, CVE-2017-9727, CVE-2017-9739)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered an use-after-free vulnerability in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use a crafted file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9612)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered a lack of integer overflow check in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use crafted PostScript document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9835).

Several issues were found in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, which allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PostScript document.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
