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

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

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.

For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its security tracker page at:

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 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.

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.
