CVE-2013-5653  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 ghostscript to version 0:8.70-21.el6_8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The getenv and filenameforall functions in Ghostscript 9.10 ignore the "-dSAFER" argument, which allows remote attackers to read data via a crafted postscript file.
