CVE-2012-4405

33. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2011-01-26

* Fix merge in 8.71~dfsg2-6.1 (not unreleased 8.71~dfsg2-7).
* Fix strip CMap files in target related to libgs8 (not ghostscript).
* Package now team-maintained:
  + Set Debian Printing Team as author.
  + Set myself and Add Michael Gilbert as uploaders. Welcome, Michael!
  + Drop Masayuki Hatta and Torsten Landschoff as uploaders,
    reflecting the sad reality of them going silent. Thanks for past
    contributions, and feel free to join back later!

* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix various aspects of CVE-2010-2055:
  - Honor -P- command-line option (closes: #584653).
  - Set SEARCH_HERE_FIRST=0 by default (closes: #584663).

* Acknowledge pseudo-NMUs.
  Closes: bug#584667, #584516, #583738, thanks to Moritz Muehlenhoff
  and Sebastian Dröge.
* There is no such thing as a "collab-maint upload:
  + Edit historical changelog entries to avoid further repitition.
  + Document sensible use of collab-maint for NMUs in README.source.
* Reorder patches to match upstream commit order.
* Replace patches 0960-0962 (fix printing from GTK+ apps) from Ubuntu
  with corresponding patches cherry-picked from upstream.
* Refresh patches using shortening options --no-timestamps --no-index
  -pab.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
* Put myself as maintainer and Hatta as uploader, to better reflect
  our current levels of activity.
* Drop superfluous cleanup in preinst of transitional gs-common.
  Thanks to Jonathan Nieder (see bug#519141).
* Fix circular dependency: Stop ugly transitional hack of ghostscript
  depending on gs-common (which depends on ghostscript).
  Closes: bug#519141, thanks to Bill Allombert, Jonathan Nieder and
  others (see also bug#539754).
* Add patch 011547 cherry-picked from upstream Subversion, to improve
  cups device support for rendering with high memory demands. Possibly
  fixes bug#534414 (try also setting RIPCache=auto in cupsd.conf).

30. By Moritz Muehlenhoff <email address hidden> on 2010-07-31

* Collab-maint upload, adding myself to uploaders temporarily
* Fix CVE-2010-1628 (Closes: #584516)
* Apply upstream commit r11351 to pass -P- to all Ghostscript
  internal tools. Ghostscript will likely be changed to run
  with -P- by default, but this still needs more work/testing
  for a final patch (Closes: #584667)

29. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2010-05-18

Fix have update-gsfontmap script exit 0.

28. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2010-04-15

* Drop locally included d-shlibdeps, and instead tighten build-
  dependency on d-shlibs to versions supporting inversioned -dev
  package and suppressing missing library dependencies (declared
  indirectly using CDBS). No longer mention d-shlibs licensing in
  copyright file.
* Add patches cherry-picked from upstream VCS:
  + 0927: Write TIFF directories before the page data.
  + 0928: Change default TIFF strip size to one megabyte.
  + 0940: Merge gs_2_colors branch.
  + 0941: Include all our defined fonts in substitution list.
  Register a few newly introduced symbols.
* Drop local CDBS snippet package-relations.mk: included in cdbs now.
* Simplify CDBS inclusions: We need newer version anyway due to using
  package dependency handling, so useless trying to ease backporting
  by avoiding other build-dependency tightenings.
* Build-depend on devscripts and dh-buildinfo, and tighten build-
  dependency on cdbs.
* Fix use DEB_UPSTREAM_REPACKAGE_EXCLUDES (not abandoned
  DEB_UPSTREAM_REPACKAGE_EXCLUDE) in rules file.
  Closes: bug#577373, thanks to Lucas Nussbaum.
* Have ghostscript break ghostscript-x too old to depend on same-
  version ghostscript.
  Closes: bug#511824, thanks to Bernhard R. Link.
* Fix handle upstream-shipped temp files different from patch noise,
  to really make clean target fully clean.

27. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2010-03-15

* Add patches cherry-picked from upstream VCS:
  + 0826: Fix some compile errors and warnings.
  + 0827: Fix possibly AIX-only compile error.
  + 0830: Always use contone buffer in wtsimdi device.
  + 0869: Open tiffsep and tiffsep1 output files as seekable.
  + 0881: Revert korean example to non-corrupted version.
  + 0882: Update Windows CJK font substitution list.
  + 0883: lowercase fontfile name before matching.
  + 0890: Fixes on CUPS Raster output device.
  + 0895: pdftoraster no exit until Ghostscript sub-process finishes.
  + 0905: Fix psdcmyk segv.
  + 0908: Fix overprint logic.
  + 0924: Fix TIFFCleanup segfault in gdevtfax.
  + 0925: Fix treat TIFFSetField as floating point.
  + 0926: Have filters return 2 on empty output.
* Refresh patches (with compacting options --no-timestamp --no-index).
* Refer to FSF website (not postal address) in rules file header.
* Fix refer to LGPL as Lesser (not Library) in copyright file.
* Update local CDBS snippets:
  + Drop conditionally setting DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE in rules file (done
    in main cdbs package now), to not (wrongfully) upset lintian.
  + Drop upstream-tarball.mk, copyright-check.mk and buildinfo.mk, and
    instead use same functionality now offered in main cdbs package.
  + Shrink package-relations.mk (only local snippet left!) to only
    handle binary relations (other parts in main cdbs since 0.4.69).
* Drop build-depending on devscripts or dh-buildinfo (only needed in
  maintainer builds), to ease backporting.
* Build-depend unversioned on d-shlibs (needed --overrides option
  satisfied since oldstable).
* Update symbols file (ALWAYS_CONTONE@Base introduced in patch 0830),
  and postfix earlier patch-introduced debian-versioned symbols with
  "~", thanks to lintian.

26. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2010-02-28

* Update copyright file:
  + Fix license section GPL-2+ to add refer to actual license at
    /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.
  + Strip from license section other-GPL-3+-Artifex partly outdated
    non-license part.
  + Fix replace bogus license section "GPL-2+ or AFPL" with AFPL one.
  + Fix change license "GPL-2+ with Autoconf exception" to "GPL-2+ or
    other-sa-Autoconf", and add new license section other-sa-Autoconf.
  + Fix change license "GPL-2+ with Libtool exception" to "GPL-2+ or
    other-sa-Libtool", and add new license section other-sa-Libtool.
  + Extend license section GPL-2+ to cover more variants (reducing
    verbatim copies by documenting file/program/library variations).
  + Change GPL license sections to refer to FSF website (as in
    py-compile, not postal address as common in other (older?) cases).
    Place the website reference below Debian-specific reference to
    actual license file, to slightly emphasize that it is a local edit
    (not copied verbatim from an upstream file).
* Build-depend on libexpat-dev and enable SHARE_EXPAT. Closes:
  bug#560930 (CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720), thanks to Michael
  Gilbert and Moritz Muehlenhoff.
* Tighten watch file to not include macosx flavor, and simplify to no
  longer mangle upstream gpl extension.
* Apply bug-fixing patches cherry-picked from upstream SVN:
  + 0751: Add missing dereferencing of indirect objects in /Mask array
  + 0778: Fix PDF trailer attributes undefined error
  + 0780: Add cast to bmpcmp.c to quiet useless compiler warning
  + 0782: Fix signedness and other wrong var comparisons in T2 dict
  + 0785: Fix pdfwrite UTF16 handling in PDF/A output
  + 0788: Fix error passing setscreen read-only Halftone type1 dict
  + 0794: Fix ignore a class of broken TrueType font
  + 0810: Fix pdfwrite widths for CIDFont with unusual FontMatrix
  + 0821: Add missing newline in a TTF debug message
  + 0822: Upgrade Adobe Glyph List to v. 2.0.
  + 0823: Fix drop wrong raster optimization in gxipixel.c
  + 0824: Fix PDF crop /TrimBox and /CropBox by the /MediaBox
* Refresh all patches with quilt option --no-timestamp.

25. By Jonas Smedegaard <email address hidden> on 2010-02-15

* New upstream release.
* Acknowledge NMU. Closes: bug#562643, thanks to Andreas Kirschbaum.
* No longer strip Resource/Font dir when DFSG-repackaging source (GPL-
  licensed since 8.63). Closes: bug#520215, thanks to Fabian
  Greffrath.
* Update local CDBS snippets:
  + package-relations.mk:
    - Merge mixture of versioned and unversioned dependencies
    - Use unversioned dependencies when satisfied in oldstable
    - Improve whitespace cleanup
    - Rewrite and silence applying dependencies
    - Handle cdbs 0.4.53 dependency (needed when using debhelper v7)
  + upstream-tarball.mk:
    - Depend unversioned on cdbs (the needed 0.4.39 is in oldstable)
    - Preserve bzip2 tarballs with source format '3.0 (quilt)'.
  + copyright-check.mk:
    - More aggressive scanning (check top 99999 lines, not just 60)
    - Simplify more licensing notices and preserve non-ASCII chars
    - Group hints by sorted owner list (ignoring years)
    - Limit console output both horisontally and vertically
    - Use rev123 of draft DEP5 for hints file
* Use source format 3.0 "quilt" (and not patchsys-quit.mk). Update
  README.source: normal builds need no special handling now.
* Add patches:
  + 1009 (Ubuntu): Fix build gs as executable (not shared library)
  + 0743 (Upstream): Fix pdfwrite UTF16-BE pdfmarks not garbling XMP
    metadata
  + 0748 (Upstream): Fix nested ICCBased colour processing
  + 0749 (Upstream): Fix a few minor compile warnings
* Refresh patches, and reorder to apply in numerical order.
* Rewrite copyright file using draft DEP5 format: All earlier
  information preserved, but also many new discoveries (some yet
  incomplete - tagged FIXME in the file).
* Build-depend on libtiff-dev and enable use of libtiff.
* Update symbols files, and avoid Linux-only realloc symbol on Hurd
  (we currently do not maintain symbols files for other non-Linux
  archs). Closes: bug#546017, thanks to Pino Toscano.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4.
