"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0324 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2026-101258:
A flaw was found in Ghostscript. When Ghostscript renders a crafted PostScript or EPS document, it can
bypass the -dSAFER sandbox and execute arbitrary shell commands in the context of the Ghostscript process.
The issue chains memory corruption in document parsing with disabling of internal path access controls at
runtime. An attacker can deliver the document directly or through formats that delegate rendering to
Ghostscript (for example EPS import or print conversion workflows). Successful exploitation can compromise
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data accessible to the process running Ghostscript.
CVE-2026-103226:
A vulnerability was identified in Artifex Ghostscript up to 10.09.0. Affected is the function
type1_callsubr of the file devices/vector/gdevpsfx.c of the component Pdfwrite. The manipulation leads to
stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly
available and might be used. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue. A solution was
implemented: I've chosen to fix this slightly differently by using the defined macro in the font parsing
loop rather than in the callsubr function, because this better matches the pattern of 'normal' usage.
CVE-2026-39919:
Ghostscript before 10.08.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the JPEG 2000 output
adapter (base/sjpx_openjpeg.c) that allows attackers to cause memory corruption by supplying a crafted PDF
containing a JPEG 2000 image with mismatched component subsampling factors. When image components declare
different subsampling values, the non-samescale sub-byte-depth output path allocates a row buffer sized
for packed output but writes a full byte per output column regardless of bit depth, overflowing the
allocation and corrupting internal chunk-allocator metadata to achieve code execution.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
