Juniper JUNOS 5.x through JUNOS 7.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (routing disabled) via a large number of MPLS packets, which are not filtered or verified before being sent to the Routing Engine, which reduces the speed at which other packets are processed.

Updated ghostscript packages that fix a PDF output issue and a temporary file security bug are now available.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Ghostscript is a program for displaying PostScript files or printing them to non-PostScript printers.

A bug was found in the way several of Ghostscript's utility scripts created temporary files. A local user could cause these utilities to overwrite files that the victim running the utility has write access to. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2004-0967 to this issue.

Additionally, this update addresses the following issue :

A problem has been identified in the PDF output driver, which can cause output to be delayed indefinitely on some systems. The fix has been backported from GhostScript 7.07.

All users of ghostscript should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

The remote host is running a vulnerable version of the Juniper JUNOS.
There is a reported flaw in this version of JUNOS that would allow a remote attacker to cause the Juniper router to fail.
