This issue was patched in ALAS2-2021-1598.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-doc package and not the ghostscript-doc package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

Artifex Ghostscript 9.25 and earlier allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via vectors involving errorhandler setup. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-17183.
