[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/ghostscript: fix CVE-2020-15900

A memory corruption issue was found in Artifex Ghostscript 9.50 and
9.52. Use of a non-standard PostScript operator can allow overriding of
file access controls. The 'rsearch' calculation for the 'post' size
resulted in a size that was too large, and could underflow to max
uint32_t. This was fixed in commit
5d499272b95a6b890a1397e11d20937de000d31b.

+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 702582, CVE 2020-15900 Memory Corruption in Ghostscript
+ 9.52
+
+Fix the 'rsearch' calculation for the 'post' size to give the correct
+size.  Previous calculation would result in a size that was too large,
+and could underflow to max uint32_t. Also fix 'rsearch' to return the
+correct 'pre' string with empty string match.
+
+A future change may 'undefine' this undocumented, non-standard operator
+during initialization as we do with the many other non-standard internal
+PostScript operators and procedures.
