            Bug ID: 202781
           Summary: print/ghostscript7 *: security/vuxml: denial of
                    service (crash) via crafted Postscript files
                    (CVE-2015-3228)

           Version: Latest

Note this is already fixed in ports/head.  We just need the documentation and a
backport of the fix.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-3228

Integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function in base/gsmalloc.c in
Ghostscript 9.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via a crafted Postscript (ps) file, as demonstrated by using
the ps2pdf command, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.
