"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-100:01 advisory.
Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the
Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an
interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many
common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used
to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers.
If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install
ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2009-3743
Off-by-one error in the Ins_MINDEX function in the TrueType bytecode interpreter in Ghostscript before
8.71 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory
corruption) via a malformed TrueType font in a document that trigger an integer overflow and a heap-based
buffer overflow.
CVE-2010-2055
Ghostscript 8.71 and earlier reads initialization files from the current working directory, which allows
local users to execute arbitrary PostScript commands via a Trojan horse file, related to improper support
for the -P- option to the gs program.
CVE-2010-4054
The gs_type2_interpret function in Ghostscript allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(incorrect pointer dereference and application crash) via crafted font data in a compressed data stream,
aka bug 691043.
CVE-2010-4820
No description available at the time of writing, use the CVE link.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
