I believe they're all part of the standard Ghostscript distribution; at
any rate, they're in the Windows Ghostscript distribution I have
installed here.

The Windows scripts (gs*\lib\*.bat) are similarly vulnerable: no use of
-P-, and letting the executable name be overridden by an environment

Ghostscript buffer overflow

Hi,

Buffer overflow in Ghostscript. A useful attack vector because a lot
of UNIX workstations will put PS files on the web through Ghostscript.

The problem is a stack-based buffer overflow in the zseticcspace()
function in zicc.c. The issue is over-trust of the length of a
postscript array which an attacker can set to an arbitrary length. One
slight amusement is that the overflowed type is "float", leading to
machine code -> float conversion in any exploit. An example .ps file

Re: Ghostscript 8.64 executes random code at startup

The ghostscript people in
  http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691339
told me to use the -P- switch, and marked it "RESOLVED WONTFIX".
I guess -P- should be the default, as well as -dSAFER should be.

The way gv invokes gs is "wrong". For example, using command
  gv /tmp/any.ps
will do:
  chdir("/tmp/")
  execve(..., "gs", ... "-dSAFER", ... "any.ps", ...) 

[SECURITY] [DSA 1510-1] New ghostscript packages fix arbitrary code execution

Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-0411

Chris Evans discovered a buffer overflow in the color space handling
code of the Ghostscript PostScript/PDF interpreter, which might result
in the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into processing
a malformed file.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
8.54.dfsg.1-5etch1 of gs-gpl and 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1etch1 of gs-esp.
