Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GPL Ghostscript, the worst
of which may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Background

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GPL Ghostscript.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=3Dapp-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.10-r2"
