An update for ghostscript is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.
Security Fix(es) :

Security Fix(es) :
* 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)");
