Id Description
4676 GNU Ghostscript -dSAFER %pipe% Flaw Arbitrary Command Execution

When the -dSAFER option is in use, Ghostscript should not open piped commands (i.e. %pipe%cmd). This is not the case due to improper handling of the %pipe% I/O device. An attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted Postscript file to exploit this vulnerability; resulting in arbitrary code execution with the users privileges, on the local system.
