multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. Out-of-bounds data access in
    filenameforall can lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2024-46956)

  - An issue was discovered in base/gsdevice.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. An integer overflow when
    parsing the filename format string (for the output filename) results in path truncation, and possible path
    traversal and code execution. (CVE-2024-46953)

  - An issue was discovered in decode_utf8 in base/gp_utf8.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. Overlong
    UTF-8 encoding leads to possible ../ directory traversal. (CVE-2024-46954)
