Package        : ghostscript
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-6116

Tavis Ormandy discovered a vulnerability in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may result in denial of service or the
execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Postscript file is processed
(despite the -dSAFER sandbox being enabled).

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
