"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1745272309 advisory.
- An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can
occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example,
restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output filename.
(CVE-2024-33869)
- An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. There is path traversal (via a crafted
PostScript document) to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths. For example,
there can be a transformation of ../../foo to ./../../foo and this will grant access if ./ is permitted.
(CVE-2024-33870)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
