    Description:


    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, CVE-2016-7977,
    bsc#1001951)

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

    - An integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function used to allow
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via specially
    crafted Postscript files. (CVE-2015-3228, boo#939342)
