{"id":"USN-3866-3","summary":"ghostscript regression","details":"USN-3866-2 fixed a regression in Ghostscript. The Ghostscript update\nintroduced a new regression that resulted in certain pages being printed\nwith a blue background. This update fixes the problem.\n\nOriginal advisory details:\n\n Tavis Ormandy discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain\n PostScript files. If a user or automated system were tricked into\n processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use\n this issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a\n denial of service.\n","modified":"2026-04-22T09:53:06.171476Z","published":"2019-02-26T14:14:00Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3866-3"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://launchpad.net/bugs/1817308"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ghostscript@9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7"}]}],"versions":["9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu2","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu3","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu4","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu5","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu6","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu7","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu8","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu9","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.1","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.2","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.3","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.4","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.5","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.6","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.7","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.9","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.10","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.12","9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.13","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.3","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.1","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.3","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.4","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.5","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ghostscript","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7"},{"binary_name":"ghostscript-x","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9-common","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.14.04.7"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-3866-3.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","cves":[]}}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ghostscript@9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7"}]}],"versions":["9.16~dfsg~0-0ubuntu3","9.16~dfsg~0-0ubuntu4","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu1","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.2","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.3","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.4","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.6","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.7","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.8","9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2.9","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.16.04.3","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.5","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ghostscript","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7"},{"binary_name":"ghostscript-x","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9-common","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.7"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-3866-3.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","cves":[]}}},{"package":{"name":"ghostscript","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ghostscript@9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7"}]}],"versions":["9.21~dfsg+1-0ubuntu3","9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1","9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1.1","9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1.2","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1","9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.18.04.2","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.1","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.3","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.4","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.5","9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ghostscript","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7"},{"binary_name":"ghostscript-x","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7"},{"binary_name":"libgs9-common","binary_version":"9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.7"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-3866-3.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","cves":[]}}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
