According to the versions of the ghostscript packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1 allows memory corruption, and SAFER sandbox bypass, via format string     injection with a uniprint device.(CVE-2024-29510)

    An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. There is path traversal (via a crafted     PostScript document) to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths. For example,     there can be a transformation of ../../foo to ./../../foo and this will grant access if ./ is     permitted.(CVE-2024-33870)

    An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can     occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example,     restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output     filename.(CVE-2024-33869)

    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.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u7.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 10.0.0~dfsg-11+deb12u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.

    For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its     security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ghostscript

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6835-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ghostscript did not properly restrict eexec seeds to those specified by the Type 1     Font Format standard when SAFER mode is used. An attacker could use this issue to bypass SAFER     restrictions and cause unspecified impact. (CVE-2023-52722) This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,     Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.10.

    Thomas Rinsma discovered that Ghostscript did not prevent changes to uniprint device argument strings     after SAFER is activated, resulting in a format-string vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-29510)

    Zdenek Hutyra discovered that Ghostscript did not properly perform path reduction when validating paths.
    An attacker could use this to access file locations outside of those allowed by SAFER policy and possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-33869)

    Zdenek Hutyra discovered that Ghostscript did not properly check arguments when reducing paths. An     attacker could use this to access file locations outside of those allowed by SAFER policy.
    (CVE-2024-33870)

    Zdenek Hutyra discovered that the Driver parameter for Ghostscript's opvp/oprp device allowed     specifying the name of an arbitrary dynamic library to load. An attacker could use this to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-33871)

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:6197 advisory.

    * ghostscript: format string injection leads to shell command execution (SAFER bypass) (CVE-2024-29510)
    * ghostscript: path traversal and command execution due to path reduction (CVE-2024-33869)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6466 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: format string injection leads to shell command execution (SAFER bypass) (CVE-2024-29510)

    * ghostscript: path traversal and command execution due to path reduction (CVE-2024-33869)

    * ghostscript: path traversal to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths     (CVE-2024-33870)

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)
