--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-727 2005-08-17 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : netpbm Version : 10.28 Release : 1.FC3.2 Summary : A library for handling different graphics file formats. Description : The netpbm package contains a library of functions that support programs for handling various graphics file formats, including .pbm (portable bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable anymaps), .ppm (portable pixmaps), and others. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: pstopnm in netpbm does not properly use the "-dSAFER" option when calling Ghostscript to convert a PostScript file into a (1) PBM, (2) PGM, or (3) PNM file, which allows external user-complicit attackers to execute arbitrary commands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Aug 9 2005 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@redhat.com> 10.28-1.FC3.2 - fix CAN-2005-2471, unsafe gs calls from pstopnm (#165355) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... 682fef4118379453f9904ed11025d19c SRPMS/netpbm-10.28-1.FC3.2.src.rpm 52025f87544eeff14dbd28e041f8f835 x86_64/netpbm-10.28-1.FC3.2.x86_64.rpm f54e3b276f7de91c60e0274a7e4fa296 x86_64/netpbm-devel-10.28-1.FC3.2.x86_64.rpm ba23352b4a3408cc09b5a94c7a3ba763 x86_64/netpbm-progs-10.28-1.FC3.2.x86_64.rpm 4f2c90bc63f325618f3f62606c53a8d1 x86_64/debug/netpbm-debuginfo-10.28-1.FC3.2.x86_64.rpm 77147e145fab7be9d1d3979bd8a6623b x86_64/netpbm-10.28-1.FC3.2.i386.rpm 77147e145fab7be9d1d3979bd8a6623b i386/netpbm-10.28-1.FC3.2.i386.rpm ca36d8da2ce9258dda55bef56459cddf i386/netpbm-devel-10.28-1.FC3.2.i386.rpm 76580d236a22bf1093ff1deaedd448f9 i386/netpbm-progs-10.28-1.FC3.2.i386.rpm 765ecc1610149fb2ee54b4f59b0e8a44 i386/debug/netpbm-debuginfo-10.28-1.FC3.2.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
