The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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: /invalidaccess bypass after failed restore (699654) (CVE-2018-16509)

  - ghostscript: Improperly implemented security check in zsetdevice function in psi/zdevice.c     (CVE-2018-19409)

  - The getenv and filenameforall functions in Ghostscript 9.10 ignore the -dSAFER argument, which allows     remote attackers to read data via a crafted postscript file. (CVE-2013-5653)
