vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3915-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain PostScript files. If a user or automated
    system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use this
    issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
