Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

The version of Artifex Ghostscript installed on the remote Windows host is 9.50. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in jetp3852_print_page() in devices/gdev3852.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16302)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in xps_finish_image_path() in devices/vector/gdevxps.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2020-16303)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in image_render_color_thresh() in base/gxicolor.c of Artifex Software     GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted eps file. (CVE-2020-16304)

Additionally, the version of Artifex Ghostscript installed is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities which could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4469-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain document files. If a user or automated     system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could use this issue to     cause Ghostscript to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A null pointer dereference vulnerability in compose_group_nonknockout_nonblend_isolated_allmask_common()     in base/gxblend.c of Artifex Software GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of     service via a crafted PDF file. This is fixed in v9.51. (CVE-2020-16293)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
