Ghostscript is vulnerable to denial of service(DoS) attacks. This is because the ghostscript device cleanup does not properly handle devices replaced with a null device. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or possibly execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document.
