We do not yet build with tesseract ocr devices, so this report is INVALID.

Also not that "arbitrary" (if you do build with ocr) is quite an exaggeration: there is no priviledge escalation whatsover. All you can do is make ghostscript "copy" files that the user has access to. (It should not do that either, of course, as it can overwrite files, copy them to shared locations etc.)
