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