Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2019-10216:
In ghostscript before version 9.50, the .buildfont1 procedure did not properly secure its privileged
calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a
specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate privileges and access files outside of restricted
areas.
CVE-2019-14811:
A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdf_hook_DSC_Creator procedure where it
did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
system, or execute arbitrary commands.
CVE-2019-14812:
A flaw was found in all ghostscript versions 9.x before 9.50, in the .setuserparams2 procedure where it
did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
system, or execute arbitrary commands.
CVE-2019-14813:
A flaw was found in ghostscript, versions 9.x before 9.50, in the setsystemparams procedure where it did
not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially
crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or
execute arbitrary commands.
CVE-2019-14817:
A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdfexectoken and other procedures where
it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
system, or execute arbitrary commands.
CVE-2019-14869:
A flaw was found in all versions of ghostscript 9.x before 9.50, where the `.charkeys` procedure, where it
did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An
attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate
privileges within the Ghostscript and access files outside of restricted areas or execute commands.
CVE-2019-3835:
It was found that the superexec operator was available in the internal dictionary in ghostscript before
9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the
file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.
CVE-2019-3838:
It was found that the forceput operator could be extracted from the DefineResource method in ghostscript
before 9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access
to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.
CVE-2019-3839:
It was found that in ghostscript some privileged operators remained accessible from various places after
the CVE-2019-6116 fix. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example,
have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER. Ghostscript versions before
9.27 are vulnerable.
CVE-2019-6116:
In Artifex Ghostscript through 9.26, ephemeral or transient procedures can allow access to system
operators, leading to remote code execution.
