USN-4193-1: Ghostscript vulnerability<\/p>\n
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:<\/p>\n
Ghostscript could be made to crash, access files, or run programs if it
\nopened a specially crafted file.<\/p>\n
Paul Manfred and Lukas Schauer discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly
\nhandled certain PostScript files. If a user or automated system were
\ntricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could
\npossibly use this issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code,
\nor cause a denial of service.<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:<\/p>\n
