  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues:

  - Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where
  ghostscript's '-dsafer' flag did not provide sufficient protection
  against unintended access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would
  process a specially crafted Postscript file would potentially leak
  sensitive information to an attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, bsc#1001951)

  - An incorrect reference count was found in .setdevice. This issue lead to
  a use-after-free scenario, which could have been exploited for
  denial-of-service or, possibly, arbitrary code execution attacks.
  (CVE-2016-7978, bsc#1001951)

  - Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser
  used to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951)
