Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:208
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : ghostscript
Date : November 5, 2007
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A function in the JasPer JPEG-2000 library before 1.900 could allow
a remote user-assisted attack to cause a crash and possibly corrupt
the heap via malformed image files.

Newer versions of ghostscript contain an embedded copy of libjasper
and as such is vulnerable to this issue.

Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
