Basically, the real work was done by Tim Waugh from redhat security Team,
only I imported and adapted two patches from:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ghostscript.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/ghostscript-8.71-14.fc14

In relation to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599564

To be more specific:
ghostscript-SEARCH_HERE_FIRST.patch
ghostscript--P-.patch
