Description

MandrakeSoft has issued updated packages for ghostscript. These fix a vulnerability, which potentially could allow malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused by an error, which allows a malicious postscript file to execute arbitrary code on the system even with the option "-dSAFER" enabled. This could be exploited by a malicious person, if a user was lured into opening a malicious postscript file.


Solution
Upgrade automatically using MandrakeUpdate or manually by downloading the updated packages from one of MandrakeSoft's FTP server mirrors:
