The version of Artifex Ghostscript installed on the remote Windows host is 9.50. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A buffer overflow vulnerability in jetp3852_print_page() in devices/gdev3852.c of Artifex Software GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16302)

  • A use-after-free vulnerability in xps_finish_image_path() in devices/vector/gdevxps.c of Artifex Software GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16303)

  • A buffer overflow vulnerability in image_render_color_thresh() in base/gxicolor.c of Artifex Software GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted eps file. (CVE-2020-16304)

Additionally, the version of Artifex Ghostscript installed is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities which could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
