Published: 14 April 2021

ghostscript 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.14+esm2 for xenial
was released to address this CVE but it was thereafter determined that
the impacted code is not compiled and so the package is not vulnerable.
still need to verify if commits from PR 1397 and 1398 should
be included as part of our patch.
