"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-918:03 advisory.
Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) 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-2012-4405
Multiple integer underflows in the icmLut_allocate function in International Color Consortium (ICC) Format
library (icclib), as used in Ghostscript 9.06 and Argyll Color Management System, allow remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) PostScript or
(2) PDF file with embedded images, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue is also
described as an array index error.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
