CVE-2018-16510 Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Title: Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Ghostscript.
It was discovered that Ghostscript contained multiple security issues. 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: This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.

CVE-2018-16510 [HIGH] CWE-20 ghostscript: Incorrect exec stack handling in the "CS" and "SC" PDF primitives (699671)
ghostscript: Incorrect exec stack handling in the "CS" and "SC" PDF primitives (699671)
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24. Incorrect exec stack handling in the "CS" and "SC" PDF primitives could be used by remote attackers able to supply crafted PDFs to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact.
It was discovered that ghostscript did not properly handle certain error conditions related to the SC and CS PDF operators. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document.
Statement: This issue did not affect the versions of ghostscript as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7.
