ghostscript: CVE-2019-14869

A flaw was found in all versions of ghostscript 9.x before 9.28,
where the `.charkeys` procedure, where it did not properly secure
its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions.
An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted
PostScript file that could escalate privileges within the Ghostscript
and access files outside of restricted areas or execute commands.

+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 701841: remove .forceput from /.charkeys
+
+When loading Type 1 or Truetype fonts from disk, we attempt to extend the glyph
+name table to include all identifiable glyph names from the Adobe Glyph List.
+
+In the case of Type 1 fonts, the font itself (almost always) marks the
+CharStrings dictionary as read-only, hence we have to use .forceput for that
+case.
+
+But for Truetype fonts, the CharStrings dictionary is created internally and is
+not read-only until *after* we have fully populated it (including the extended
+glyph names from the AGL), hence there is no need for .forceput, and no need to
+carry the security risk of using it.
+
+Replace with regular put.
+
+CVE: CVE-2019-14869
