"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1750783474 advisory.
- An issue was discovered in the function gdev_prn_open_printer_seekable() in Artifex Ghostscript through
10.02.0 allows remote attackers to crash the application via a dangling pointer. (CVE-2023-46751)
- An issue was discovered in psi/zcolor.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. An unchecked Implementation
pointer in Pattern color space could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2024-46951)
- An issue was discovered in base/gsdevice.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. An integer overflow when
parsing the filename format string (for the output filename) results in path truncation, and possible path
traversal and code execution. (CVE-2024-46953)
- An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.05.0. The NPDL device has a Compression buffer
overflow for contrib/japanese/gdevnpdl.c. (CVE-2025-27832)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
