"The version of ghostscript installed on the remote host is prior to 8.70-24.27. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1725 advisory.
- A heap-based buffer over write vulnerability was found in GhostScript's lp8000_print_page() function in
gdevlp8k.c file. An attacker could trick a user to open a crafted PDF file, triggering the heap buffer
overflow that could lead to memory corruption or a denial of service. (CVE-2020-27792)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
