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 Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 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.
