The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ghostscript-9.54.0-13.el9 build changelog.

  • A buffer overflow flaw was found in base/gdevdevn.c:1973 in devn_pcx_write_rle() in ghostscript. This issue may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service via outputting a crafted PDF file for a DEVN device with gs. (CVE-2023-38559)

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