The remote host is missing an update to ghostscript
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:095.
A buffer underflow in Ghostscript's CCITTFax decoding filter allows
remote attackers to cause denial of service and possibly to execute
arbitrary by using a crafted PDF file (CVE-2007-6725).
Buffer overflow in Ghostscript's BaseFont writer module allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted Postscript file (CVE-2008-6679).
Multiple interger overflows in Ghostsript's International Color
Consortium Format Library (icclib) allows attackers to cause denial
of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) and
possibly execute arbirary code by using either a PostScript or PDF
file with crafte embedded images (CVE-2009-0583, CVE-2009-0584).
Multiple interger overflows in Ghostsript's International Color
Consortium Format Library (icclib) allows attackers to cause denial
of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) and
possibly execute arbirary code by using either a PostScript or PDF
file with crafte embedded images. Note: this issue exists because of
an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-0583 (CVE-2009-0792).
Heap-based overflow in Ghostscript's JBIG2 decoding library allows
attackers to cause denial of service and possibly to execute arbitrary
code by using a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-0196).
This update provides fixes for that vulnerabilities.

gostscript packages from Mandriva Linux 2009.0 distribution are not
affected by CVE-2007-6725.
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0, Corporate 4.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
