Description Tomas Hoger 2008-02-05 11:28:39 UTC 
Chris Evans of Google security team has reported a buffer overflow in
zseticcspace() function in zicc.c.  The issue is over-trust of the length of a
postscript array which an attacker can set to an arbitrary length.

This issue can lead to arbitrary code execution.
