- CVEs with nessus.description==Some vulnerabilities were discovered in ghostscript, an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF.
CVE-2018-19134
The setpattern operator did not properly validate certain types. A specially crafted PostScript document could exploit this to crash Ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the context of the Ghostscript process. This is a type confusion issue because of failure to check whether the Implementation of a pattern dictionary was a structure type.
CVE-2018-19478
Attempting to open a carefully crafted PDF file results in long-running computation. A sufficiently bad page tree can lead to us taking significant amounts of time when checking the tree for recursion.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 9.06~dfsg-2 deb8u13.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
