Updated packages are now available to address this problem. For reference, the original advisory text follows. Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or information disclosure if a specially crafted Postscript file is processed. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u4. We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
