Package(s):ghostscript CVE #(s):CVE-2012-4405
Created:September 12, 2012 Updated:April 10, 2013
Description: From the Red Hat advisory:

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library (icclib). An attacker could create a specially-crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Ghostscript.
