* CVE-2018-16802: Incorrect\"restoration of privilege\" checking when running out of stack during exceptionhandling could be used by attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to execute code using the \"pipe\" instruction. This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-16509 https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699714 https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699718 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108027 bnc#1108027 Regarding what the above \"should fix\" means: PostScript is a general purpose Turing-complete programming language (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript) that supports in particular file access on the system disk. When Ghostscript processes PostScript it runs a PostScript program as the user who runs Ghostscript. When Ghostscript processes an arbitrary PostScript file, the user who runs Ghostscript runs an arbitrary program which can do anything on the system where Ghostscript runs that this user is allowed to do on that system. To make it safer when Ghostscript runs a PostScript program the Ghostscript command line option \'-dSAFER\' disables certain file access functionality, for details see /usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.25/Use.htm Its name \'SAFER\' says everything: It makes it \'safer\' to let Ghostscript run a PostScript program, but it does not make it completely safe. In theory software is safe against misuse (i.e. has no bugs). In practice there is an endless sequence of various kind of security issues (i.e. software can be misused to do more than what is intended) that get fixed issue by issue ad infinitum. In the end all that means: In practice the user who runs Ghostscript must not let it process arbitrary PostScript files from untrusted origin. In particular Ghostscript is usually run when printing documents (with the \'-dSAFER\' option set), see the part about \"It is crucial to limit access to CUPS to trusted users\" in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings
* Thu Sep 13 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.25rc1 (first release candidate for 9.25). Highlights in this release include:
* This release fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files), and some additional security issues over the 9.24 release.
* Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits. PLEASE NOTE: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues.
* Avoid that ps2epsi fails with \'Error: /undefined in --setpagedevice--\' Recent changes required to harden SAFER mode mean that it is no longer possible to run ps2epsi in SAFER mode, because it relies upon unsafe Ghostscript non-standard extension operators. Removing SAFER and DELAYSAFER, and the code to reset SAFER, allow ps2epsi to run as well as it ever did (ie badly). This program (i.e. ps2epsi) should now be considered unsafe, you should not use it on untrusted PostScript programs. Likely we (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) will deprecate and remove this program in future. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
* Thu Sep 13 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.24 Highlights in this release include:
* Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits. PLEASE NOTE: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues.
* As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant amount of work improving its robustness in the face of out specification files.
* IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. For a release summary see: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.24/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.- fix_ln_docdir_gsdatadir.patch is no longer needed because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources.- CVE-2018-10194.patch is no longer needed because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources.
* Tue Jun 05 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- CVE-2018-10194.patch fixes stack-based buffer overflow in gdevpdts.c (bsc#1090099), see https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699255 and http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=39b1e54b2968620723bf32e96764c88797714879
* Thu Mar 22 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.23 Highlights in this release include:
* Ghostscript now has a family of \'pdfimage\' devices (pdfimage8, pdfimage24 and pdfimage32) which produce rendered output wrapped up as an image in a PDF. Additionally, there is a \'pclm\' device which produces PCLm format output.
* There is now a ColorAccuracy parameter allowing the user to decide between speed or accuracy in ICC color transforms.
* JPEG Passthrough: devices which support it can now receive the \'raw\' JPEG stream from the interpreter. The main use of this is the pdfwrite/ps2write family of devices that can now take JPEG streams from the input file(s) and write them unchanged to the output (thus avoiding additional quantization effects).
* PDF transparency performance improvements
* IMPORTANT: We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
* We have continued the focus on code hygiene in this release cleaning up security issues, ignored return values, and compiler warnings.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes
* The planned device API tidy has, unfortunately, been indefinitely postponed, until appropriate resources are available. For a release summary see: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.23/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. See also the entries below since \"Version upgrade to 9.22\" (boo#1082896 and boo#1074266).
* Fri Mar 16 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- For now use lcms2 from SUSE because that is what currently Ghostscript upstream recommends according to https://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2018-March/010061.html because since Ghostscript 9.23rc1 there is no longer lcms2 in Ghostscript but now it is lcms2art which is the beginning of a lcms2 fork, see News.htm that reads in particular \"LCMS2 is not thread safe ... Our fork will be thread safe ... We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity\", see also https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c14- On SLE11 and on SLE12-SP1 there is liblcms2-2-2.5 which is too old so that configure fails there with configure: error: lcms2 not found, or too old but there is no configure option to build it without lcms2 so that for SLE11 and SLE12-SP1 it is built with the lcms2art in Ghostscript.- ppc64le-support.patch is no longer needed because it only contained a fix for lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h in Ghostscript but currently lcms2 from SUSE is used instead (see above).- Do no longer require any fonts packages in particular neither require ghostscript-fonts-std because the PostScript Base35 fonts are provided by Ghostscript (in \'Resource\') nor require ghostscript-fonts-other (provides Bitream Charter, Adobe Utopia, URW Antiqua, URW Grotesq and Hershey fonts where all but the last are also provided by texlive--fonts) and those fonts are not required for PostScript compliance, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082896#c13
* Thu Mar 15 2018 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.23rc1 (first release candidate for 9.23). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing- Adapted ppc64le-support.patch: In Ghostscript 9.23 there is now lcms2art/include/lcms2art.h (instead of lcms2/include/lcms2.h).- ghostscript-fix-debug-use.patch is no longer needed because the issue is fixed in the upstream sources.- fix_ln_docdir_gsdatadir.patch avoids \"base/unixinst.mak:162: recipe for target \'install-doc\' failed\"- Adapted spec file to the new Ghostscript upstream documentation directory /usr/share/doc/ghostscript/9.23/
* Wed Feb 28 2018 stefan.bruensAATTrwth-aachen.de- Use -p /sbin/ldconfig instead of shell post(un) scriptlet, drop explicit Prereq for ldconfig- Use shared libgs library for gs binary instead of static linked version- Use --disable-compile-inits, to allow unbundling of Resource files- Remove --disable-omni switch, has been removed in GS 9.20- Keep patch ordering in full/mini consistent- Remove patch backup files to avoid packaging
* Tue Feb 27 2018 novellAATTmirell.de- Add ghostscript-fix-debug-use.patch from upstream to fix broken printing with some drivers (especially Dell Printers) from https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698837- Fix build for SLE targets
* Wed Nov 29 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.22. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include:
* Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite device) PDF 2.0 compliant files.
* The main focus of this release has been security and code cleanliness. Hence many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and Coverity issues have been addressed.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes
* The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.- Up to 9.22rc1 it \"just built\" for all openSUSE versions but since 9.22rc2 the libijs part does no longer buid for any released openSUSE version where if fails with messages like libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2, but the definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.2. You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6 Debian-2.4.6-2 and run autoconf again. Makefile: recipe for target \'ijs.lo\' failed so that currently it only builds for Tumbleweed/Factory. Presumably it is not too complicated to make it build again also for released openSUSE versions but currently I have less than zero energy to fix such \"latest breaking changes\" so that for now Ghostscript 9.22 is only provided for openSUSE Tumbleweed/Factory and the upcoming SLE15/Leap15.
* Fri Sep 29 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.22rc2 (second release candidate for 9.22). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
* Thu Sep 14 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.22rc1 (first release candidate for 9.22). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing- Since Ghostscript 9.22rc1 font2c and wftopfa are removed.- CVE-2017-5951.patch CVE-2017-7207.patch CVE-2017-8291.patch and CVE-2017-9216.patch are fixed in the version 9.22rc1 upstream sources.

* Mon Apr 10 2017 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.21. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include:
* pdfwrite now preserves annotations from input PDFs (where possible).
* The GhostXPS interpreter now provides the pdfwrite device with the data it requires to emit a ToUnicode CMap: thus allowing fully searchable PDFs to be created from XPS input (in the vast majority of cases).
* Ghostscript now allows the default color space for PDF transparency blends.
* The Ghostscript/GhostPDL configure script now has much better/fuller support for cross compiling.
* The tiffscaled and tiffscaled4 devices can now use ETS (Even Tone Screening)
* The toolbin/pdf_info.ps utility can now emit the PDF XML metadata.
* Ghostscript has a new scan converter available (currently optional, but will become the default in a near future release). It can be enabled by using the command line option: \'-dSCANCONVERTERTYPE=2\'. This new implementation provides vastly improved performance with large and complex paths.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes:
* The planned device API tidy (still!) did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.- CVE-2016-7976.patch and CVE-2016-7977.patch and CVE-2016-7978.patch and CVE-2016-7979.patch and CVE-2016-8602.patch are no longer needed because those issues are fixed in the upstream sources.- 0001-mkromfs-make-build-reproducible-use-buildtime-from-S.patch and 0002-mkromfs-sort-gp_enumerate_files-output-for-determini.patch are no longer needed because both are included in the upstream sources, see the upstream issue https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697484- Again use the zlib sources from Ghostscript upstream and disable remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch because Ghostscript 9.21 does no longer build this way, cf. the entry below dated \"Wed Nov 18 11:46:58 UTC 2015\"
* Thu Jan 12 2017 stefan.bruensAATTrwth-aachen.de- Set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH based on changelog head- Add 0001-mkromfs-make-build-reproducible-use-buildtime-from-S.patch

* Thu Sep 29 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.20. Purely a maintenance release. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include:
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. Incompatible changes:
* The planned device API tidy did not happen for this release, due to time pressures, but we still intend to undertake the following: We plan to somewhat tidy up the device API. We intend to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers) and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.
* Thu Sep 15 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.20rc1 (first release candidate for 9.20). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing
* Wed Mar 23 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.19. Mainly a maintenance release. For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Highlights in this release include:
* Metadata pdfmark is now implemented. This allows the user to specify an XMP stream which will be written to the Catalog of the PDF file. A new pdfmark \'Ext_Metadata\' has been defined. This takes a string parameter which contains XML to be add to the XMP normally created by pdfwrite. See \"pdfwrite pdfmark extensions\" for more information.
* An experimental, rudimentary raster trapping implementation has been added to the Ghostscript graphics library. See \"Trapping\" for details. Incompatible changes:
* (Minor) API change: copy_alpha now supports 8 bit depth (as well as the previous 2 and 4).
* The gs man pages are woefully out of date and basically unmaintained. With the release following 9.19, we intend to replace their contents with a very limited summary of (unlikely to ever change aspects of) calling Ghostscript, and a pointer to the (maintained) HTML documentation. That is, unless a volunteer is willing to update, and commit to maintaining the man pages.
* ijs-config is no longer provided Planned incompatible changes:
* We plan (ideally for the release following 9.19) to somewhat tidy up the device API. We plan to remove deprecated device procs (methods/function pointers). We also intend to merge the imager state and graphics state (thus eliminating the imager state), and change the device API so every device proc takes a graphics state parameter (rather than the current scheme where only a very few procs take an imager state parameter). This should serve as notice to anyone maintaining a Ghostscript device outside the canonical source tree that you may (probably will) need to update your device(s) when these changes happen. Devices using only the non-deprecated procs should be trivial to update.- fix_make_install.patch fixes and add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch are no longer needed because both issues are fixed in the upstream sources.
* Fri Mar 18 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.19rc1 (first release candidate for 9.19). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing- ijs-config is no longer provided- fix_make_install.patch fixes an install error and add_brackets_for_old_autoconf.patch fixes an autoconf error see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696665- fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.- install_gserrors.h.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
* Wed Nov 18 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de- Do not use library sources for freetype jpeg libpng tiff zlib from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because we prefer to use for long-established standard libraries the ones from SUSE in particular to automatically get SUSE security updates for standard libraries. In contrast we use e.g. lcms2 from the Ghostscript upstream tarball because this one is specially modified to work with Ghostscript so that we cannot use lcms2 from SUSE.- remove-zlib-h-dependency.patch removes dependency on zlib/zlib.h in makefiles as we do not use the zlib sources from the Ghostscript upstream tarball.
* Thu Nov 05 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- An incompatible change appeared when building other software with Ghostscript 9.18. Since version 9.18 Ghostscript does no longer provide e_ (e.g. e_NeedInput) in its header files (gserrors.h and ierrors.h). When building other software with Ghostscript 9.18 gs_error_ (e.g. gs_error_NeedInput) must be used, see boo#953149 and http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696317
* Fri Oct 30 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- install_gserrors.h.patch installs gserrors.h to fix http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696301 because without gserrors.h several other packages fail to build (in particular texlive, libspectre, gimp,...).
* Mon Oct 12 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- fix_ijs_and_x11_for_FirstPage_and_LastPage.patch fixes the Ghostscript device ijs and the x11
* devices so that they also work when -dFirstPage/-dLastPage is used, see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696246
* Tue Oct 06 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.18. A maintenance release. There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing). Highlights in this release include:
* A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL directory structure. Ghostscript-only users should not be affected by this change.
* A new method of internally inserting devices into the device chain has been developed, named \"device subclassing\". This allows suitably written devices to be more easily and consistently as \"filter\" devices. The first fruit of this is a new implementation of the \"-dFirstPage\"/\"-dLastPage\" feature which functions a device filter in the Ghostscript graphics library, meaning it works consistently with all input languages.
* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements. See http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.18/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
* Tue Sep 29 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.18rc2 (second release candidate for 9.18). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing- assign_pointer_not_value_in_gximono.c.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
* Thu Sep 24 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.18rc1 (first release candidate for 9.18). For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files. Regarding installing packages (in particular release candidates) from the openSUSE build service development project \"Printing\" see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing- CVE-2015-3228.patch is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.- assign_pointer_not_value_in_gximono.c.patch attempts to fix a \"assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast\" compiler warning by assigning the pointer and not the integer value.- Removed --disable-compile-inits from configure, see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696223 and \"Precompiled run-time data\" in /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/doc/Make.htm

* Tue Mar 31 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to 9.16. Primarily a maintenance release. There are no recorded incompatible changes (as of this writing). Highlights in this release include:
* \"LockColorants\" command line option for tiffsep and psdcmyk devices.
* Improved high level devices handling of Forms. See http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.16/News.htm For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.- fix.including.pread.pwrite.pthread_mutexattr_settype.diff is no longer needed because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
