<http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/09/29/3> (also see follow-ups) Filed upstream as: <http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697169> <http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697178> This is a fairly important security issue because it introduces vulnerabilities into CUPS and programs such as mail clients which use mailcap entries and run Ghostscript indirectly.
