Package        : ghostscript
Version        : 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u4
Debian Bug     : 840691


The update for ghostscript issued as DLA-674-1 caused regressions for
certain Postscript document viewers (evince, zathura). Updated packages
are now available to address this problem. For reference, the original
advisory text follows.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL
PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or information disclosure if a specially crafted Postscript file is
processed.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
