How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 ghostscript-gtk to version 0:9.07-20.el7_3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-gtk package and not the ghostscript-gtk package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Ghostscript before 9.21 might allow remote attackers to bypass the SAFER mode protection mechanism and consequently read arbitrary files via the use of the .libfile operator in a crafted postscript document.
