CVE: CVE-2019-3839

Description

It was found that in ghostscript some privileged operators remained
accessible from various places after the CVE-2019-6116 fix. A specially
crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example,
have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by
-dSAFER. Ghostscript versions before 9.28 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3839)
