Detail

Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple vulnerabilites in Ghostscript, an interpreter for the PostScript language, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Postscript file is processed (despite the dSAFER sandbox being enabled).

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 9.20~dfsg-3.2+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.

For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ghostscript
