NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-mini-devel package and not the ghostscript-mini-devel package as distributed by SLES.

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.
