Multiple security issues were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which could result in denial of service and
potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed document files
are processed.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed
in version 9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u5.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u2.
