   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   The following security issue was fixed in ghostscript:

   Multiple integer underflows in the icmLut_allocate function
   in International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library
   (icclib), as used in Ghostscript 9.06 and Argyll Color
   Management System, allow remote attackers to cause a denial
   of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via
   a crafted (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded
   images, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE:
   this issue is also described as an array index error.
