Debian DLA-1792-2 : cups-filters regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 125268

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update for ghostscript released as DLA-1792-1 uncovered an issue in cups-filters which was using the undocumented Ghostscript internal 'pdfdict' now hidden in the ghostscript update. Updated cups-filters packages are now available to correct this issue.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.61-5+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups-filters packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
