Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2005:081 0 qe-ready SHIPPED_LIVE Low: ghostscript security update 2005-09-28 04:00:00 UTC

Description Mark J. Cox 2004-10-19 10:35:19 UTC 
On September 10th 2004, Trustix shared some temporary file
vulnerabilities with vendor-sec.  After some refinement these were
made public on Sep30.  These are minor issues (impact: LOW) and
therefore should be fixed in future updates, but don't deserve their
own security advisory.

Temporary file vulnerability in espgs pj-gs.sh, ps2epsi, pv.sh,
sysvlp.sh scripts.  Patch attached.

                Affects: RHEL2.1
                Probably Affects: RHEL3

Proposed patch (needs backporting)
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-10-19 16:27:52 UTC 
We had most of these already fixed.  One of them is new.

There is also bug #88906 -- since we're fixing security things in scripts, I may
as well bundle that one in.
Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2004-10-20 11:18:15 UTC 
Not including bug #88906.

Fixed in CVS for RHEL3.
Fixed in CVS for RHEL2.1.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-11-17 16:36:40 UTC 
Deferring until the next security update for ghostscript.
Comment 7 Mark J. Cox 2005-08-02 11:31:09 UTC 
Fixed in RHBA-2005:081 (to be RHSA-2005:081), adding to RHEL3U6CanFix (security
bug - overriding ack process)
