The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: gs-gpl 8.15-4ubuntu3.2 Ubuntu 7.10: libgs8 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-0ubuntu3.5 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: libgs8 8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu 8.10: libgs8 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.3 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that Ghostscript contained multiple integer overflows in its ICC color management library. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted Postscript file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-0583) It was discovered that Ghostscript did not properly perform bounds checking in its ICC color management library. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted Postscript file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program.
