The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory. The following packages are affected: ghostscript8, ghostscript8-nox11. Buffer overflow in the BaseFont writer module in Ghostscript 8.62, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Postscript file
