It was discovered that Ghostscript did not correctly handle memory allocation when parsing certain malformed JPEG-2000 images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2008-3520)

It was discovered that Ghostscript did not correctly handle certain formatting operations when parsing JPEG-2000 images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2008-3522)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain malformed TrueType fonts. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a document containing a specially crafted font, an attacker could cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2009-3743)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain malformed Type 2 fonts. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a document containing a specially crafted font, an attacker could cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2010-4054)

Jonathan Foote discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain malformed JPEG-2000 image files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, an attacker could cause Ghostscript to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2011-4516, CVE-2011-4517).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
