"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2024:6197 advisory.
The Ghostscript suite contains utilities for rendering PostScript and PDF documents. Ghostscript
translates PostScript code to common bitmap formats so that the code can be displayed or printed.
Security Fix(es):
* ghostscript: format string injection leads to shell command execution (SAFER bypass) (CVE-2024-29510)
* ghostscript: path traversal and command execution due to path reduction (CVE-2024-33869)
* ghostscript: path traversal to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths
(CVE-2024-33870)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
