Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers and some displays. This package contains Ghostscript 9.06, the last Ghostscript release under GPL3 (August, 2012). Newer releases are under AGPL3 (see ghostscript-agpl); this package exists for those that prefer a very old unmaintained GPL3 version to the AGPL3 version maintained by upstream. The most recent security patch in this package was backported in 2017.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
