What is CVE-2013-5653?

The Ghostscript version 9.10 has a vulnerability that arises from the improper handling of the '-dSAFER' argument by the getenv and filenameforall functions. This oversight allows remote attackers to exploit crafted postscript files, which can lead to unauthorized reading of sensitive data. It presents a significant risk, especially when handling untrusted postscript content, as it can lead to disclosure of private information.
