Original advisory details:

 Tavis Ormandy 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.");
