Background

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GPL Ghostscript. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for additional information.

Impact

Resolution

All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.21"
