Description

Updated ghostscript packages fix security vulnerability

In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.0, there is a buffer overflow leading

to potential corruption of data internal to the PostScript interpreter, in

base/sbcp.c. This affects BCPEncode, BCPDecode, TBCPEncode, and

TBCPDecode. If the write buffer is filled to one byte less than full, and

one then tries to write an escaped character, two bytes are written.
