What is CVE-2018-16863?

An issue was identified in Ghostscript 9.07 packaged with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, where previous security fixes, including RHSA-2018:2918, did not fully address underlying vulnerabilities. This could potentially allow an attacker to exploit an alternate variant of the flaw, bypassing -dSAFER protection. As a result, it may be possible to execute arbitrary shell commands through specially crafted PostScript documents, posing a significant risk to affected systems.
