"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0893 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-43115:
    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:
    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).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
