How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 ghostscript-gtk to version 0:9.07-31.el7_6.6 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.

An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.25. Incorrect "restoration of privilege" checking when running out of stack during exception handling could be used by attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to execute code using the "pipe" instruction. This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-16509.
