"ghostscript" as shipped with Conectiva Linux has two security problems that could be used to get higher privileges on a system: 1) insecure temporary file handling could allow symlink attacks; 2) a compile time option that was incorrectly being used made ghostscript pick up dynamic libraries in the current directory instead of the system directories. These problems are now fixed. SOLUTION All users should upgrade to the new packages.
