Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A security issue was identified and fixed in icclib :

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library (icclib). An attacker could create a specially crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Ghostscript (CVE-2012-4405).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected icclib, lib64icc-devel and / or lib64icc2 packages.
