"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced

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

    CVE-2019-10216:
    In ghostscript before version 9.50, the .buildfont1 procedure did not properly secure its privileged
    calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a
    specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate privileges and access files outside of restricted
    areas.

    CVE-2019-14811:
    A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdf_hook_DSC_Creator procedure where it
    did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
    specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
    system, or execute arbitrary commands.

    CVE-2019-14812:
    A flaw was found in all ghostscript versions 9.x before 9.50, in the .setuserparams2 procedure where it
    did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
    specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
    system, or execute arbitrary commands.

    CVE-2019-14813:
    A flaw was found in ghostscript, versions 9.x before 9.50, in the setsystemparams procedure where it did
    not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially
    crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or
    execute arbitrary commands.

    CVE-2019-14817:
    A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdfexectoken and other procedures where
    it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A
    specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file
    system, or execute arbitrary commands.

    CVE-2019-14869:
    A flaw was found in all versions of ghostscript 9.x before 9.50, where the `.charkeys` procedure, where it
    did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An
    attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate
    privileges within the Ghostscript and access files outside of restricted areas or execute commands.

    CVE-2019-3835:
    It was found that the superexec operator was available in the internal dictionary in ghostscript before
    9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the
    file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.

    CVE-2019-3838:
    It was found that the forceput operator could be extracted from the DefineResource method in ghostscript
    before 9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access
    to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.

    CVE-2019-3839:
    It was found that in ghostscript some privileged operators remained accessible from various places after
    the CVE-2019-6116 fix. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example,
    have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER. Ghostscript versions before
    9.27 are vulnerable.

    CVE-2019-6116:
    In Artifex Ghostscript through 9.26, ephemeral or transient procedures can allow access to system
    operators, leading to remote code execution.
