Technical Description

SCO has released updated packages to address a vulnerability identified in Ghostscript. This flaw is due to errors in the "pj-gs.sh", "ps2epsi", "pv.sh", and "sysvlp.sh" scripts that create temporary files insecurely, which may be exploited by local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running a vulnerable application.
