The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2016-1050 advisory. It was found that the ghostscript functions getenv, filenameforall and .libfile did not honor the -dSAFER option, leading to information disclosure. A specially crafted postscript document could read environment variable, list directory and retrieve file content respectively, from the target. It was also found that the ghostscript function .setdevice suffered a use-after-free vulnerability due to an incorrect reference count. A specially crafted postscript document could trigger code execution in the context of the gs process. Ghostscript did not sufficiently check the validity of parameters given to the .sethalftone5 function. A specially crafted postscript document could cause a crash, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the gs process
