It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-362 advisory.

    In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via     crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter,     after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs     command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server). (CVE-2023-43115)

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2023:0141 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-28879:
    In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.0, there is a buffer overflow leading to potential corruption of data     internal to the PostScript interpreter, in base/sbcp.c. This affects BCPEncode, BCPDecode, TBCPEncode, and     TBCPDecode. If the write buffer is filled to one byte less than full, and one then tries to write an     escaped character, two bytes are written.

    CVE-2023-38559:
    A buffer overflow flaw was found in base/gdevdevn.c:1973 in devn_pcx_write_rle() in ghostscript. This     issue may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service via outputting a crafted PDF file for a DEVN     device with gs.

    CVE-2023-4042:
    A flaw was found in ghostscript. The fix for CVE-2020-16305 in ghostscript was not included in     RHSA-2021:1852-06 advisory as it was claimed to be. This issue only affects the ghostscript package as     shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

    CVE-2023-43115:
    In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via     crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter,     after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs     command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:6732 advisory.

    The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript     translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Ghostscript: GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents     (CVE-2023-43115)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0893 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-43115:
    A buffer overflow flaw was found in base/gdevdevn.c:1973 in devn_pcx_write_rle() in ghostscript. This     issue may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service via outputting a crafted PDF file for a DEVN     device with gs.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via     crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter,     after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs     command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server). (CVE-2023-43115)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2023-6559:04 advisory.

    * Ghostscript: GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents     (CVE-2023-43115)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has ghostscript packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.0 has a heap-based overflow when PDFPassword (e.g., for runpdf) has a     \000 byte in the middle. (CVE-2024-29509)

  - Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2 mishandles permission validation for pipe devices (with the %pipe%     prefix or the | pipe character prefix). (CVE-2023-36664)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in base/gdevdevn.c:1973 in devn_pcx_write_rle() in ghostscript. This     issue may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service via outputting a crafted PDF file for a DEVN     device with gs. (CVE-2023-38559)

  - IN THE EXTENSION SCRIPT, a SQL Injection vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL if it uses @extowner@,     @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ inside a quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ). If an     administrator has installed files of a vulnerable, trusted, non-bundled extension, an attacker with     database-level CREATE privilege can execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser. (CVE-2023-39417)

  - A vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL with the use of the MERGE command, which fails to test new rows     against row security policies defined for UPDATE and SELECT. If UPDATE and SELECT policies forbid some     rows that INSERT policies do not forbid, a user could store such rows. (CVE-2023-39418)
