[Bug 1342312] Re: ghostscript hangs reading certain pdfs

[Marc Deslauriers]

ACK on the debdiff in comment #8. I've uploaded it for processing by the
SRU team with a few minor modifications, such as adding DEP-3 tags.

Thanks!

Title:
  ghostscript hangs reading certain pdfs

Status in GS-GPL  -  GPL Ghostscript:
  Unknown
Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ghostscript source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in ghostscript source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  = SRU justification =

  On a few pdfs, gs hangs and uses 100% cpu forever.

  This could be used as a denial of service through imagemagick which
  uses ghostscript as a delegate, and commonly used in php etc... which
  is how I found the issue.

  The packages from utopic (9.14~dfsg-0ubuntu3) processes these pdfs
  correctly.

  = SRU test case (PDF attached to this ticket) =

  gs WaddellAndReedJCL0814ThirdHProvSE.pdf

  = SRU Regression potential =

  tbd

  = SRU Other info =

  This has been fixed upstream in commit abd38464f9b which has already
  landed in utopic and later.  The SRU is then to backprt this patch to
  trusty.
