Cedric Buissart discovered two vulnerabilities in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which could result in bypass of file system
restrictions of the dSAFER sandbox.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
