Debian Security Advisory - ghostscript uses temporary files to do some of its work. Unfortunately the method used to create those files wasn't secure: mktemp was used to create a name for a temporary file, but the file was not opened safely. A second problem is that during build the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable was set to the empty string, which causes the dynamic linker to look in the current directory for shared libraries.

Package : gs
Problem type : symlink attack
Debian-specific: no

ghostscript uses temporary files to do some of its work. Unfortunately
the method used to create those files wasn't secure: mktemp was used
to create a name for a temporary file, but the file was not opened
safely. A second problem is that during build the LD_RUN_PATH environment
variable was set to the empty string, which causes the dynamic linker
to look in the current directory for shared libraries.

Bot of these problems have been fixed in version 5.10-10.1.
