Bug#651736: ghostscript: segfault when using cups device for rastering w/ SAFER and Seiko PPD
Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: normal
ghostscript 8.71 segfaults when invoked by CUPS (via the pdftoraster filter)
to print to a Seiko Smart Label Printer (SLP) using the PPD provided
by Seiko (at www.siibusinessproducts.com). The offending ghostscript command
(with standard input from pstopdf|pdftopdf) is
/usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=cups
-sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -I/usr/share/cups/fonts
-r203x203 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=236 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=68
-dcupsBitsPerColor=1 -dcupsColorOrder=0 -dcupsColorSpace=3
-scupsPageSizeName=AddressSmall -c -f -
If the PARANOIDSAFER option is removed, the command succeeds, but it still
fails with SAFER instead.
The above command succeeds when using the precompiled gs 9.04 for linux-x86_64
from downloads.ghostscript.com, but all else from my Squeeze system.
(The ghostscript folks mention that various
cups rastering segfaults were fixed recently.)
