ALSA-2025:4362 — Moderate: ghostscript security update

Affected: AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript, AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript-doc, AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript-tools-dvipdf, AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript-tools-fonts, AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript-tools-printing, AlmaLinux:8: ghostscript-x11, AlmaLinux:8: libgs, AlmaLinux:8: libgs-devel

The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.

Security Fix(es):

* ghostscript: heap buffer over write vulnerability in GhostScript's lp8000_print_page() in gdevlp8k.c (CVE-2020-27792) * ghostscript: dangling pointer in gdev_prn_open_printer_seekable() (CVE-2023-46751) * ghostscript: Buffer Overflow in Ghostscript PDF XRef Stream Handling (CVE-2024-46952) * ghostscript: Arbitrary Code Execution in Artifex Ghostscript Pattern Color Space (CVE-2024-46951) * ghostscript: Directory Traversal in Ghostscript via Overlong UTF-8 Encoding (CVE-2024-46954) * ghostscript: Path Traversal and Code Execution via Integer Overflow in Ghostscript (CVE-2024-46953) * ghostscript: Out-of-Bounds Data Access in Ghostscript Leads to Arbitrary Code Execution (CVE-2024-46956)

A heap-based buffer overwrite vulnerability was found in GhostScript's lp8000_print_page() function in the gdevlp8k.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted PDF file, triggering the heap buffer overflow that could lead to memory corruption or a denial of service.
