"It was discovered that the set_text_distance function in
base/gdevpdts.c in the pdfwrite component in Ghostscript does not
prevent overflows in text-positioning calculation, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
