Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GPL Ghostscript, the worst
of which may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-text/ghostscript-gpl
                                 < 9.10-r2                 >= 9.10-r2

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GPL Ghostscript.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
crafted PostScript file or PDF using GPL Ghostscript, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.10-r2"
