The ghostscript command with the -dSAFER option allows remote attackers to execute commands.
ghostscript before 5.10-16 uses an empty LDRUNPATH environmental variable to find libraries in the current directory, which could allow local users to execute commands as other users by placing a Trojan horse library into a directory from which another user executes ghostscript.
ghostscript before 5.10-16 allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.
ghostscript before 6.51 allows local users to read and write arbitrary files as the 'lp' user via the file operator, even with -dSAFER enabled.
ghostscript before 6.53 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by using .locksafe or .setsafe to reset the current pagedevice.
