This is a rebase of **ghostscript** package, to address several security issues :

  - [CVE-2016-7977     ](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1380415) -
    *.libfile does not honor -dSAFER*

  -     [CVE-2013-5653](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi     ?id=1380327) - *getenv and filenameforall ignore
    -dSAFER*

  -     [CVE-2016-7976](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi     ?id=1382294) - *various userparams allow %pipe% in     paths, allowing remote shell*

  -     [CVE-2016-7978](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi     ?id=1382300) - *reference leak in .setdevice allows     use-after-free and remote code*

  -     [CVE-2016-7979](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi     ?id=1382305) - *Type confusion in .initialize_dsc_parser     allows remote code execution*

----------- #### INFORMATION FOR FEDORA PACKAGERS & MAINTAINERS :

**ghostscript** has been rebased to latest upstream version (9.20).
Rebase notes :

  - **no API/ABI changes between versions 9.16 -> 9.20     according to upstream**

  - *OpenJPEG* support has been retained

  - *ijs-config* custom tool from upstream has been
    *removed* (by upstream) (*pkg-config* is used by default     now instead, see [commit     0c176a9](http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;h=0c     176a91d53c85cda))

  - some patches were updated to 'git format-patch' format &     renamed

  - rest of the patches were deleted (irrelevant for current     version), mostly because upstream has fixed those issues     in some way

The Rocky Linux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ ciqsa-2026_0418 advisory.

    This advisory aggregates security fixes for the ghostscript SRPM in CIQ LTS 9.2. It addresses 40 CVEs:
    CVE-2016-7979, CVE-2009-0583, CVE-2017-7975, CVE-2019-6116, CVE-2021-3781, and 35 more.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3148-1 advisory.

    Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the way that Ghostscript processes certain Postscript     files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could     cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-7976, CVE-2016-7978,     CVE-2016-7979, CVE-2016-8602)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript related to information disclosure. If a user or     automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could expose sensitive     data. (CVE-2013-5653, CVE-2016-7977)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has ghostscript packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A trivial sandbox (enabled with the `-dSAFER` option) escape flaw was found in the ghostscript interpreter     by injecting a specially crafted pipe command. This flaw allows a specially crafted document to execute     arbitrary commands on the system in the context of the ghostscript interpreter. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3781)

  - The jpc_qcx_getcompparms function in jpc/jpc_cs.c for the JasPer JPEG-2000 library (libjasper) before     1.900 allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly corrupt the     heap via malformed image files, as originally demonstrated using imagemagick convert. (CVE-2007-2721)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the zseticcspace function in zicc.c in Ghostscript 8.61 and earlier allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a postscript (.ps) file containing a long Range array in a     .seticcspace operator. (CVE-2008-0411)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the big2_decode_symbol_dict function (jbig2_symbol_dict.c) in the JBIG2     decoding library (jbig2dec) in Ghostscript 8.64, and probably earlier versions, allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a JBIG2 symbol dictionary segment with a large run length     value. (CVE-2009-0196)

  - Multiple integer overflows in icc.c in the International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library (aka     icclib), as used in Ghostscript 8.64 and earlier and Argyll Color Management System (CMS) 1.0.3 and     earlier, allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and     application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by using a device file for a translation request     that operates on a crafted image file and targets a certain native color space, related to an ICC     profile in a (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded images. (CVE-2009-0583)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
