The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:20.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Ubuntu.
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. contrib/opvp/gdevopvp.c allows arbitrary code execution via a custom Driver library, exploitable via a crafted PostScript document. This occurs because the Driver parameter for opvp (and oprp) devices can have an arbitrary name for a dynamic library; this library is then loaded.
