openSUSE Security Update: Security update for ghostscript-library ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2016:2574-1 Rating: important References: #1001951 Cross-References: CVE-2013-5653 CVE-2016-7978 CVE-2016-7979 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available. Description: This update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues: - Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where ghostscript's "-dsafer" flag did not provide sufficient protection against unintended access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would process a specially crafted Postscript file would potentially leak sensitive information to an attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, bsc#1001951) - An incorrect reference count was found in .setdevice. This issue lead to a use-after-free scenario, which could have been exploited for denial-of-service or, possibly, arbitrary code execution attacks. (CVE-2016-7978, bsc#1001951) - Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser used to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951) This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project. Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.
