Sereval vulnerability bugs have been reported for app-text/ghostscript[1]. There's a newer version 9.23[2], but Gentoo fails to bump to it; it has not been updated for 10 months. (Dunno if it fixes all, but it must have closed some.)

I guess the maintainer, the Project:Printing, is too busy. I'm sure someone else should bump it. What can the community do? And when you come upon a similar case, what should you do?

ghostscript-gpl-9.25 is now in the portage tree. Thanks Andreas K. Hüttel.

But my question in the previous post "what to do in general?" is not yet solved...
