Package : ghostscript
Version : 9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u6
CVE ID : CVE-2020-27792
A heap-based buffer over write vulnerability was found in GhostScript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter. An attacker could trick a user to open a crafted
PDF file, triggering the heap buffer overflow that could lead to memory
corruption or a denial of service.
For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
