7.61. ghostscript
Updated ghostscript packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common, bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#994452
- Previously, a text intended for rendering in mode 3 (invisible) was not included in the PDF output of the pdfwrite device. As a consequence, text selection from documents with an invisible text, such as Optical character recognition (OCR) output, failed. With this update, mode 3 text is included in the PDF output, and copying a text from such PDF files now works as expected.
- BZ#1027534
- Prior to this update, some PDF files containing embedded objects were erroneously treated as portable collections, leading to a "/syntaxerror" error when processing these files. A fix has been applied so that only PDF files with "/Collection" attributes are treated as portable collections, and files with embedded objects are now processed correctly.
- BZ#1060026
- Correct PDF/A files could not be created due to a lack of support. This update backports improved support for creating PDF/A files from upstream, and correct PDF/A files can now be produced.
- BZ#1105520
- Previously, if an error occurred in the ghostscript interpreter in between allocating an array and initializing its contents, garbage collection could cause the interpreter to terminate unexpectedly while attempting to deallocate memory. A patch from upstream which immediately sets the array elements to null objects after allocation fixes this bug, and the ghostscript interpreter no longer crashes in the described scenario.
Users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
