tag_insight = "Two security issues have been discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:


CVE-2009-4897

It was discovered a buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF
document containing a long name.


CVE-2010-1628

Dan Rosenberg discovered that ghostscript incorrectly handled certain
recursive Postscript files. An attacker could execute arbitrary code
via a PostScript file containing unlimited recursive procedure
invocations, which trigger memory corruption in the stack of the
interpreter.


For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny5

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid),
these problems have been fixed in version 8.71~dfsg2-4

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript package.";
