The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ghostscript: use-after-free in xps_finish_image_path() in devices/vector/gdevxps.c could result in a     privilege escalation (CVE-2020-16303)

  - Integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function in base/gsmalloc.c in Ghostscript 9.15 and earlier     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Postscript (ps) file, as     demonstrated by using the ps2pdf command, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write. (CVE-2015-3228)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.
