CVE-2018-19409 Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Title: Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Ghostscript.

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.
