Alpine: multiple ghostscript packages: security update to 10.03.1-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423946

Description

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

- 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)

- An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. contrib/opvp/gdevopvp.c allows arbitrary
code execution via a custom Driver library, exploitable via a crafted PostScript document. This occurs
because the Driver parameter for opvp (and oprp) devices can have an arbitrary name for a dynamic library;
this library is then loaded. (CVE-2024-33871)
