CVE-2018-11645 Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Title: Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Ghostscript.
Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple security issues in Ghostscript. If a user
or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file,
a remote attacker could possibly use these issues to access arbitrary
files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

ghostscript: status command permitted with -dSAFER in psi/zfile.c allowing attackers to identify the size and existence of files
psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.21rc1 permits the status command even if -dSAFER is used, which might allow remote attackers to determine the existence and size of arbitrary files, a similar issue to CVE-2016-7977.
Ghostscript did not honor the -dSAFER option when executing the "status" instruction, which can be used to retrieve information such as a file's existence and size. A specially crafted postscript document could use this flow to gain information on the targeted system's filesystem content.
