  • ghostscript: User-writable error exception table (CVE-2018-17183)

  • ghostscript: Saved execution stacks can leak operator arrays (incomplete fix for CVE-2018-17183) (CVE-2018-17961)

  • ghostscript: Saved execution stacks can leak operator arrays (CVE-2018-18073)

  • ghostscript: 1Policy operator allows a sandbox protection bypass (CVE-2018-18284)

  • ghostscript: Type confusion in setpattern (700141) (CVE-2018-19134)

  • ghostscript: Improperly implemented security check in zsetdevice function in psi/zdevice.c (CVE-2018-19409)

    Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy (Google Project Zero) for reporting CVE-2018-16541.
