Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and the
Portable Document Format (PDF).

<description>
<p>
Jan Lieskovsky from the Red Hat Security Response Team discovered the
following vulnerabilities in Ghostscript's ICC Library:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiple integer overflows (CVE-2009-0583).</li>
<li>Multiple
insufficient bounds checks on certain variable sizes
(CVE-2009-0584).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
PostScript file containing images and a malicious ICC profile, possibly
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.64-r2"</code>
<p>
All GNU Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gnu-8.62.0"</code>
<p>
We recommend that users unmerge ESP Ghostscript and use GPL or GNU
Ghostscript instead:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --unmerge "app-text/ghostscript-esp"</code>
<p>
For installation instructions, see above.
