The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200903-37 (Ghostscript: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

Jan Lieskovsky from the Red Hat Security Response Team discovered the     following vulnerabilities in Ghostscript's ICC Library:
Multiple integer overflows (CVE-2009-0583).
Multiple     insufficient bounds checks on certain variable sizes     (CVE-2009-0584).

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted     PostScript file containing images and a malicious ICC profile, possibly     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the     user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
