-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2002.265 -- RHSA-2002:083-22 Ghostscript command execution vulnerability 6 June 2002 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: Ghostscript Vendor: Red Hat Operating System: Red Hat Linux 6.2 Red Hat Linux 7.0 Red Hat Linux 7.1 Red Hat Linux 7.2 Red Hat Linux 7.3 Platform: alpha i386 sparc ia64 Impact: Execute Arbitrary Code/Commands - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Ghostscript command execution vulnerability Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:083-22 Issue date: 2002-05-07 Updated on: 2002-06-03 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: ghostscript SAFER PARANOIDSAFER Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2001:112 RHSA-2001:138 CVE Names: CAN-2002-0363 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated packages are available for GNU Ghostscript which fix a vulnerability found during Postscript interpretation. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, noarch, sparc Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386, noarch Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 3. Problem description: Ghostscript is a program for displaying PostScript files or printing them to non-PostScript printers. An untrusted PostScript file can cause ghostscript to execute arbitrary commands due to insufficient checking. Since ghostscript is often used during the course of printing a document (and is run as user 'lp'), all users should install these fixed packages. The problem is fixed in the 6.53 source release of GNU Ghostscript, and the fix has been backported and applied to the packages referenced by this advisory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0363 to this issue. Please note that this vulnerability is different to the 'local file read' issue corrected by our previous Ghostscript errata (RHSA-2001:112 and RHSA-2001:138) 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
