Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ghostscript packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF
documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common, bitmap formats so
that the code can be displayed or printed.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the gdevcups driver, which produces CUPS Raster output,
  handled memory allocations incorrectly. This could cause the ghostscript program
  to terminate unexpectedly in some situations. This update applies backported
  fixes for handling the memory allocations to this version of ghostscript and the
  crash no longer occurs. (BZ#643105)
  
• Prior to this update, certain input files containing CID Type2 fonts were
  rendered with incorrect character spacing. This update modifies the code so that
  all input files with CID Type2 fonts are rendered correctly. (BZ#695766)
  
• Prior to this update, the page orientation was incorrect when pages in the
  landscape orientation were converted to the PXL raster format. This update
  matches landscape-page sizes as well as portrait-page sizes, and sets the
  orientation parameter correctly when a match is found. (BZ#697488)
  

All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
