posted by chandan in Alerts

Product: Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris

Multiple security vulnerabilities exist in Ghostscript(GS(1)), an interpreter for the PostScript and PDF language. Ghostscript is bundled with Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.

These issues may allow local or remote unprivileged users to supply specially crafted PostScript or PDF files, thereby causing a Denial of Service (DoS) condition to applications using the Ghostscript interpreter, or lead to execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Ghostscript.

Additional information regarding these issues is available at:
