Alpine: multiple ghostscript packages: security update to 10.04.0-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423922

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - An issue was discovered in psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. Out-of-bounds data access in
 filenameforall can lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2024-46956)

 - An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. psi/zmisc1.c, when SAFER mode is used,
 allows eexec seeds other than the Type 1 standard. (CVE-2023-52722)

 - Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1 allows memory corruption, and SAFER sandbox bypass, via format string
 injection with a uniprint device. (CVE-2024-29510)

 - An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can
 occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example,
 restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output filename.
 (CVE-2024-33869)

 - An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. There is path traversal (via a crafted
 PostScript document) to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths. For example,
 there can be a transformation of ../../foo to ./../../foo and this will grant access if ./ is permitted.
 (CVE-2024-33870)
