===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3-1 October 27, 2004
GhostScript utility script vulnerabilities
CAN-2004-0967
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
The following packages are affected:
gs-common
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.3.6ubuntu1.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Recently, Trustix Secure Linux discovered some vulnerabilities in the
gs-common package. The utilities "pv.sh" and "ps2epsi" created
temporary files in an insecure way, which allowed a symlink attack to
create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
invoking the program.
