-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG Security Advisory The OpenPKG Project http://www.openpkg.org/security.html http://www.openpkg.org openpkg-securityat_private openpkgat_private OpenPKG-SA-2003.030 03-Jun-2003 ________________________________________________________________________ Package: ghostscript Vulnerability: execute arbitrary commands OpenPKG Specific: no Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages: OpenPKG CURRENT <= ghostscript-7.04-20021013 >= ghostscript-8.00-20021122 OpenPKG 1.2 none N.A. OpenPKG 1.1 <= ghostscript-7.04-1.1.0 >= ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1 Dependent Packages: none Description: According to a Red Hat security advisory [0], a flaw in versions of Ghostscript [1] before 7.07 allows malicious Postscript files to execute arbitrary commands even with command line option -dSAFER enabled. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2003-0354 [2] to the problem. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q ghostscript". If you have the "ghostscript" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution) [3][4] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [5], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [6] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [7], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4]. For the affected release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD ftp> get ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1.*.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-181.html [1] http://www.ghostscript.com/ [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0354 [3] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [4] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [5] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.1/UPD/ghostscript-7.04-1.1.1.src.rpm [6] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.1/UPD/ [7] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkgat_private>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
