Passing the -dSAFER safety argument on the command line prevents the issue by locking security-related variables after Ghostscript’s initialization. In RHEL 9, -dSAFER is enabled by default, ensuring that insecure commands are rejected in a safer environment. This mitigation is equally effective in RHEL 7 and 8 when -dSAFER is explicitly passed on the command line, addressing the vulnerability that allows insecure commands within PostScript files. Since the OPVP device, cannot be removed, we recommend to use -dSAFER in RHEL 7 and 8 as a practical security measure.
