Debian: DSA-3691-2 Critical Update For Ghostscript Regression
debian
October 28, 2016
The update for ghostscript issued as DSA-3691-1 caused regressions for certain Postscript document viewers (evince, zathura)
Summary
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or information disclosure if a specially crafted Postscript file is
processed.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
