The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update. The set_text_distance function in devices/vector/gdevpdts.c in the pdfwrite component in Artifex Ghostscript through 9.22 does not prevent overflows in text-positioning calculation, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified impact via a crafted PDF document (CVE-2018-10194)
