    "This update for ghostscript to version 9.25 fixes the following 
    issues :
    
    These security issues were fixed :
    
      - CVE-2018-17183: Remote attackers were be able to supply
        crafted PostScript to potentially overwrite or replace
        error handlers to inject code (bsc#1109105)
    
      - CVE-2018-15909: Prevent type confusion using the .shfill
        operator that could have been used by attackers able to
        supply crafted PostScript files to crash the interpreter
        or potentially execute code (bsc#1106172).
    
      - CVE-2018-15908: Prevent attackers that are able to
        supply malicious PostScript files to bypass .tempfile
        restrictions and write files (bsc#1106171).
    
      - CVE-2018-15910: Prevent a type confusion in the
        LockDistillerParams parameter that could have been used
        to crash the interpreter or execute code (bsc#1106173).
    
      - CVE-2018-15911: Prevent use uninitialized memory access
        in the aesdecode operator that could have been used to
        crash the interpreter or potentially execute code
        (bsc#1106195).
    
      - CVE-2018-16513: Prevent a type confusion in the setcolor
        function that could have been used to crash the
        interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact
        (bsc#1107412).
    
      - CVE-2018-16509: Incorrect 'restoration of privilege'
        checking during handling of /invalidaccess exceptions
        could be have been used by attackers able to supply
        crafted PostScript to execute code using the 'pipe'
        instruction (bsc#1107410).
    
      - CVE-2018-16510: Incorrect exec stack handling in the
        'CS' and 'SC' PDF primitives could have been used by
        remote attackers able to supply crafted PDFs to crash
        the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other
        impact (bsc#1107411).
    
      - CVE-2018-16542: Prevent attackers able to supply crafted
        PostScript files from using insufficient interpreter
        stack-size checking during error handling to crash the
        interpreter (bsc#1107413).
    
      - CVE-2018-16541: Prevent attackers able to supply crafted
        PostScript files from using incorrect free logic in
        pagedevice replacement to crash the interpreter
        (bsc#1107421).
    
      - CVE-2018-16540: Prevent use-after-free in copydevice
        handling that could have been used to crash the
        interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact
        (bsc#1107420).
    
      - CVE-2018-16539: Prevent attackers able to supply crafted
        PostScript files from using incorrect access checking in
        temp file handling to disclose contents of files on the
        system otherwise not readable (bsc#1107422).
    
      - CVE-2018-16543: gssetresolution and gsgetresolution
        allowed attackers to have an unspecified impact
        (bsc#1107423).
    
      - CVE-2018-16511: A type confusion in 'ztype' could have
        been used by remote attackers able to supply crafted
        PostScript to crash the interpreter or possibly have
        unspecified other impact (bsc#1107426).
    
      - CVE-2018-16585: The .setdistillerkeys PostScript command
        was accepted even though it is not intended for use
        during document processing (e.g., after the startup
        phase). This lead to memory corruption, allowing remote
        attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to crash the
        interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact
        (bsc#1107581).
    
      - CVE-2018-16802: Incorrect 'restoration of privilege'
        checking when running out of stack during exception
        handling could have been used by attackers able to
        supply crafted PostScript to execute code using the
        'pipe' instruction. This is due to an incomplete fix for
        CVE-2018-16509 (bsc#1108027).
    
    These non-security issues were fixed :
    
      - Fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended
        results of the security fixes to the SAFER file access
        restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files).
    
      - Avoid that ps2epsi fails with 'Error: /undefined in
        --setpagedevice--'

    descriptionCERT reports : Ghostscript contains an optional -dSAFER option, which is supposed to prevent unsafe PostScript operations. Multiple PostScript operations bypass the protections provided by -dSAFER, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with arbitrary arguments. This vulnerability can also be exploited in applications that leverage Ghostscript, such as ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick, evince, Okular, Nautilus, and others. Exploit code for this vulnerability is publicly available.

    descriptionThe remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has ghostscript packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.26. LockSafetyParams is not checked correctly if another device is used. (CVE-2018-19409) - It was discovered that the ghostscript .tempfile function did not properly handle file permissions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and delete files or disclose their content via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-15908) - An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.25. Incorrect restoration of privilege checking when running out of stack during exception handling could be used by attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to execute code using the pipe instruction. This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-16509. (CVE-2018-16802) - It was discovered that the ghostscript device cleanup did not properly handle devices replaced with a null device. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-16541) - It was discovered that ghostscript did not properly verify the key used in aesdecode. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-15911) - It was discovered that the ghostscript did not properly restrict access to files open prior to enabling the -dSAFER mode. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and disclose the content of affected files via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-16539) - Artifex Ghostscript before 9.25 allowed a user-writable error exception table, which could be used by remote attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to potentially overwrite or replace error handlers to inject code. (CVE-2018-17183) - Artifex Ghostscript 9.25 and earlier allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via vectors involving errorhandler setup. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-17183. (CVE-2018-17961) - Artifex Ghostscript allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism by leveraging exposure of system operators in the saved execution stack in an error object. (CVE-2018-18073) - Artifex Ghostscript 9.25 and earlier allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via vectors involving the 1Policy operator. (CVE-2018-18284) - It was found that RHSA-2018:2918 did not fully fix CVE-2018-16509. An attacker could possibly exploit another variant of the flaw and bypass the -dSAFER protection to, for example, execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-16863) - In Artifex Ghostscript through 9.25, 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-2018-19134) - It was discovered that the ghostscript .shfill operator did not properly validate certain types. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document. (CVE-2018-15909) - It was discovered that the ghostscript .type operator did not properly validate its operands. A specially crafted PostScript document could exploit this to crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the context of the ghostscript process.
