Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or denial of service if a specially crafted Postscript file is
processed.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u5.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.20~dfsg-3.1 or earlier versions.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
