<description>
<p>
Chris Evans (Google Security) discovered a stack-based buffer overflow
within the zseticcspace() function in the file zicc.c when processing a
PostScript file containing a long "Range" array in a .seticcscpate
operator.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user
to open a specially crafted PostScript file, which could possibly lead
to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Ghostscript ESP users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1"</code>
<p>
All Ghostscript GPL users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.61-r3"</code>
<p>
All Ghostscript GNU users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/ghostscript-gnu-8.60.0-r2"</code>
