Recommended update for ghostscript
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for ghostscript
This update for ghostscript-library fixes a regression in
Ghostscript 8.62 where it did no longer use fonts
specified via FONTPATH=/path/to/font when they are not
considered to be resource fonts.
In addition, the following low impact security fixes are
included:
* CVE-2009-3743: Off-by-one error in the TrueType
bytecode interpreter in Ghostscript before 8.71 allowed
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory
corruption) via a malformed TrueType font in a document.
* CVE-2010-4054: The gs_type2_interpret function in
Ghostscript allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (incorrect pointer dereference and application
crash) via crafted font data in a compressed data stream.
