The remote host is missing an update for the 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the USN-3803-1 advisory. Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple security issues in Ghostscript. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use these issues to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service. Please install the updated package(s)
