  <description>This update for ghostscript-library fixes the following issues:

- Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered where ghostscript's
  "-dsafer" flag did not provide sufficient protection against unintended
  access to the file system. Thus, a machine that would process a specially
  crafted Postscript file would potentially leak sensitive information to an
  attacker. (CVE-2013-5653, bsc#1001951)

- An incorrect reference count was found in .setdevice. This issue lead to a
  use-after-free scenario, which could have been exploited for
  denial-of-service or, possibly, arbitrary code execution attacks.
  (CVE-2016-7978, bsc#1001951)

- Insufficient validation of the type of input in .initialize_dsc_parser used
  to allow remote code execution. (CVE-2016-7979, bsc#1001951)
