The remote host is missing an update for the 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. It was found that ghostscript did not properly validate the parameters passed to the .rsdparams and .eqproc functions. A specially crafted PostScript document could execute code in the context of the ghostscript process, bypassing the -dSAFER protection (CVE-2017-8291)
