The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 22.10 / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6213-1 advisory.

  • Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2 mishandles permission validation for pipe devices (with the %pipe% prefix or the | pipe character prefix). (CVE-2023-36664)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
