"The update for ghostscript issued as DLA-674-1 caused regressions for
certain Postscript document viewers (evince, zathura). Updated
packages are now available to address this problem. For reference, the
original advisory text follows.
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of
arbitrary code or information disclosure if a specially crafted
Postscript file is processed.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u4.
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."
