More information:

It was discovered that Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, does not properly handle errors in the gdev_prn_open_printer_seekable() function, which could result in the execution of arbitrary commands if malformed document files are processed.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 10.0.0~dfsg-11+deb12u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
