An update for ghostscript is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
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) :
Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy (Google Project Zero) for reporting this issue.

Security Fix(es) :
* It was discovered that the ghostscript /invalidaccess checks fail
under certain conditions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to
bypass the -dSAFER protection and, for example, execute arbitrary
shell commands via a specially crafted PostScript document.
