The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2023:6265 advisory.

  • In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter, after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server). (CVE-2023-43115)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
