Description Frederic Bezies 2018-09-04 18:14:59 UTC

Hello.

This bug was opened following this bug on CUPS bug tracker : https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5394

I wanted to print some documents with a freshly installed ghostscript 9.24 on an Archlinux. But I got an error "filter failed" in cups web interface.

Here is the output of gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=%stdout -sDEVICE=cups -dcupsColorSpace=17 -c "showpage" :

Chris, is it possible that there is a relation between this bug and the bug reported here:

https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/59

There also the "cups" device fails, but only if -dSAFER or -dPARANOIDSAFER is used. -dNOSAFER solves the problem described there. Would using -dNOSAFER be a security risk?

Comment 2 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2018-09-04 20:36:04 UTC

Nope, this bug has nothing to do with the SAFER issues.

The SAFER issues were fixed with:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=0704d18b1031


I have a possible solution for this issue, but I need to check with one of the other engineers before I commit the change.

Comment 3 Till Kamppeter 2018-09-04 20:47:54 UTC

Chris, did this fix for -dSAFER make it into GS 9.24?

Comment 4 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2018-09-04 20:49:10 UTC

Yes

Yes, I confirm it. Archlinux produced a new version of ghostscript 9.24 with this patch.

No more problems with my printer. Thanks for the fix.
