ghostscript vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary

Ghostscript could be made to access arbitrary files if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description

Details

Hiroki Matsukuma discovered that the PDF interpreter in Ghostscript
did not properly restrict privileged calls when ‘-dSAFER’
restrictions were in effect. If a user or automated system were
tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to access arbitrary files.
