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--' For additional changes please check http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.25/News.htm This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project." );

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-2018-16585: 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.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2018-2918.NASL description An update for ghostscript is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Security Fix(es) : * It was discovered that the ghostscript /invalidaccess checks fail under certain conditions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and, for example, execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted PostScript document.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 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) : * It was discovered that the ghostscript /invalidaccess checks fail under certain conditions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and, for example, execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted PostScript document.
