NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-devel package and not the ghostscript-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 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.
