[Test Case] Run the following command line (from the Red Hat bug report) in a terminal window: gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=bjc600 -dPrintColors=15 -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK -dBitsPerPixel=24 -sPrintQuality=Normal -dMediaWeight=80 -sMediaType=PlainPaper -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792 -r360x360 -sOutputFile=/dev/null Without the fix Ghostscript crashes with a segmentation fault, with the proposed package Ghostscript does not crash any more. [Regression Potential] Very low, the patch are trivial NULL checks.
