Hi I recently visited the update-pages of suse and noticed a lot of security-related packages that are related to flaws in Ghostview and ghostscript. Some of these packages I have never heard of (like cmap-adobe or CID-keyed-fonts). What are these packages and what is wrong with it? The descriptions on the site are not very detailled. Why should I update this stuff ? I know of two vulnerabilities that are related to malicious pdf or ps documents. One is in ghostscript (CAN-2002-0363). http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0363 and another is in ghostview (CAN-2001-0832). http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2001-0832 How do I know what packages fix one of these vulnerabilities (if they indeed do so)?
