Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
      crafted PostScript file or PDF document using GPL Ghostscript possibly
      resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
      process, a Denial of Service condition, or other unspecified impacts,
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
