"The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3381
advisory.
- In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.0, there is a buffer overflow leading to potential corruption of data
internal to the PostScript interpreter, in base/sbcp.c. This affects BCPEncode, BCPDecode, TBCPEncode, and
TBCPDecode. If the write buffer is filled to one byte less than full, and one then tries to write an
escaped character, two bytes are written. (CVE-2023-28879)
