  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
      crafted PostScript file or PDF using GPL Ghostscript, possibly resulting
      in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a
      Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All GPL Ghostscript users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      "&gt;=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.10-r2"
    </code>
