ghostscript regression
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
USN-3866-2 introduced a regression in Ghostscript.
Software Description:
- ghostscript: PostScript and PDF interpreter
Details:
USN-3866-2 fixed a regression in Ghostscript. The Ghostscript update
introduced a new regression that resulted in certain pages being printed
with a blue background. This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Tavis Ormandy discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain
PostScript files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a
denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.10:
ghostscript 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.10.7
