Fedora 29: ghostscript Security Update 2018-81ee973d7c
Summary
This package provides useful conversion utilities based on Ghostscript software,
for converting PS, PDF and other document formats between each other.
Ghostscript is a suite of software providing an interpreter for Adobe Systems'
PostScript (PS) and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages.
Its primary purpose includes displaying (rasterization & rendering) and printing
of document pages, as well as conversions between different document formats.
This is a security update for `CVE-2018-16802`. It also fixes a printing problem
discovered in one of the previous CVE fixes. NOTE: *Please, be advised that
there's a separate issue related to printing problems, which is connected to
CUPS itself, meaning this update might not completely resolve your printing
issues.* ---- This is a rebase to latest upstream version of `Ghostscript`,
which fixes several high important CVEs recently discovered. It is advised to
update this version as soon as possible. ---- Security fix for CVE-2918-15909
and some other bug fixes.
