{"id":"SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1","summary":"Security update for ghostscript-library","details":"\nThis update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues:\n\n- Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where ghostscript's\n  '-dsafer' flag did not provide sufficient protection against unintended\n  access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would process a specially\n  crafted Postscript file would potentially leak sensitive information to an\n  attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, bsc#1001951)\n\n- An incorrect reference count was found in .setdevice. This issue lead to a\n  use-after-free scenario, which could have been exploited for\n  denial-of-service or, possibly, arbitrary code execution attacks.\n  (CVE-2016-7978, bsc#1001951)\n\n- Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser used\n  to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951)\n","modified":"2026-03-11T06:29:14.918370Z","published":"2016-10-11T12:51:56Z","related":["CVE-2013-5653","CVE-2016-7978","CVE-2016-7979"],"upstream":["CVE-2013-5653","CVE-2016-7978","CVE-2016-7979"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2016/suse-su-20162492-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1001951"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2013-5653"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-7978"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-7979"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Desktop%2012%20SP1"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript":"9.15-11.1","ghostscript-x11":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript-x11":"9.15-11.1","ghostscript":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 12 SP1","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Software%20Development%20Kit%2012%20SP1"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript-devel":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012-LTSS"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript-x11":"9.15-11.1","ghostscript":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2012%20SP1"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript-x11":"9.15-11.1","ghostscript":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP1","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/ghostscript&distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20Applications%2012%20SP1"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.15-11.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"ghostscript":"9.15-11.1","ghostscript-x11":"9.15-11.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2016:2492-1.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
