   An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   This update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues:

   - Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where
     ghostscript's "-dsafer" flag did not provide sufficient protection
     against unintended access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would
     process a specially crafted Postscript file would potentially leak
     sensitive information to an attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, CVE-2016-7977,
     bsc#1001951)

   - Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser
     used to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951)

   - An integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function used to allow
     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via specially
     crafted Postscript files. (CVE-2015-3228, boo#939342)
