NVD Description

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

psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.21rc1 permits the status command even if -dSAFER is used, which might allow remote attackers to determine the existence and size of arbitrary files, a similar issue to CVE-2016-7977.
