Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or information disclosure if a specially crafted Postscript file is
processed.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
