CVE-2018-11645
psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.21rc1 permits the status command even if -dSAFER is used, which might allow remote attackers to determine the existence and size of arbitrary files, a similar issue to CVE-2016-7977.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
