Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-728
2005-08-17
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 4
Name        : netpbm
Version     : 10.28                      
Release     : 1.FC4.2                  
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.

- fix CAN-2005-2471, unsafe gs calls from pstopnm (#165355)
