Hi Kurt, We identified and are separating the bugs discussed in Bug 599564[1] in two different issues. Can you assign a CVE Identifier to the following issue: Ghostscript included the current working directory in its library search path by default. If a user ran Ghostscript without the "-P-" option in an attacker-controlled directory containing a specially-crafted PostScript library file, it could cause Ghostscript to execute arbitrary PostScript code. With this update, Ghostscript no longer searches the current working directory for library files by default.[1] [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599564 Thanks, -- Ramon de C Valle / Red Hat Security Response Team
