Summary
The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.
Security Fix(es):
* ghostscript: format string injection leads to shell command execution (SAFER bypass) (CVE-2024-29510)
* ghostscript: path traversal and command execution due to path reduction (CVE-2024-33869)
* ghostscript: path traversal to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths (CVE-2024-33870)
