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.

CVE-2018-16513 [HIGH] CWE-253 ghostscript: setcolor missing type check (699655)
ghostscript: setcolor missing type check (699655)
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files could use a type confusion in the setcolor function to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact.
It was discovered that the ghostscript did not properly validate the operands passed to the setcolor function. 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.
