Issue Overview:

It was found that ghostscript did not properly validate the parameters passed
to the .rsdparams and .eqproc functions. During its execution, a specially
crafted PostScript document could execute code in the context of the ghostscript
process, bypassing the -dSAFER protection. (CVE-2017-8291)

Affected Packages:

ghostscript

Run yum update ghostscript to update your system.
