"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1791463004 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was identified in Artifex Ghostscript up to 10.09.0. Affected is the function
    type1_callsubr of the file devices/vector/gdevpsfx.c of the component Pdfwrite. The manipulation leads to
    stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly
    available and might be used. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue. A solution was
    implemented: I've chosen to fix this slightly differently by using the defined macro in the font parsing
    loop rather than in the callsubr function, because this better matches the pattern of 'normal' usage.
    (CVE-2026-103226)

  - Ghostscript before 10.08.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the JPEG 2000 output
    adapter (base/sjpx_openjpeg.c) that allows attackers to cause memory corruption by supplying a crafted PDF
    containing a JPEG 2000 image with mismatched component subsampling factors. When image components declare
    different subsampling values, the non-samescale sub-byte-depth output path allocates a row buffer sized
    for packed output but writes a full byte per output column regardless of bit depth, overflowing the
    allocation and corrupting internal chunk-allocator metadata to achieve code execution. (CVE-2026-39919)

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