Description:
Updated ghostscript packages fix security vulnerability:

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 (CVE-2012-4405).

The argyllcms and icclib packages in Mageia 2 are also affected by this
flaw and have been updated as well.

There are known file conflicts between argyllcms and icclib which will be
fixed in a separate update. See bug 5897 for further details.
