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)

  - The pdf14_open function in base/gdevp14.c in Artifex Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted file that is     mishandled in the color management module. (CVE-2016-10217)

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202008-20 (GPL Ghostscript: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GPL Ghostscript. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter which could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed document files are processed.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4469-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain document files. If a user or automated     system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could use this issue to     cause Ghostscript to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Artifex Ghostscript installed on the remote Windows host is 9.50. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in jetp3852_print_page() in devices/gdev3852.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16302)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in xps_finish_image_path() in devices/vector/gdevxps.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16303)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in image_render_color_thresh() in base/gxicolor.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted eps file. (CVE-2020-16304)

Additionally, the version of Artifex Ghostscript installed is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities which could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in ghostscript, an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF, allowing an attacker to escalate privileges and cause denial of service via crafted PS/EPS/PDF files.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
