Description
The following security issue was fixed in ghostscript:
Multiple integer underflows in the icmLut_allocate function
in International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library
(icclib), as used in Ghostscript 9.06 and Argyll Color
Management System, allow remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via
a crafted (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded
images, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE:
this issue is also described as an array index error.
