Package : ghostscript
CVE ID : CVE-2018-11645 CVE-2018-17961 CVE-2018-18073 CVE-2018-18284
Debian Bug : 910678 910758 911175
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may result in denial of service,
disclosure of existence and size of arbitrary files, or the execution of
arbitrary code if a malformed Postscript file is processed (despite the
dSAFER sandbox being enabled).
This update rebases ghostscript for stretch to the upstream version 9.25
which includes additional non-security related changes.
For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.25~dfsg-0+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its
security tracker page at:
