Echo: ghostscript: security update to 10.05.1~dfsg-1+deb13u2

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460434

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Ghostscript before 10.08.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the JPEG 2000 output
 adapter (base/sjpx_openjpeg.c) that allows attackers to cause memory corruption by supplying a crafted PDF
 containing a JPEG 2000 image with mismatched component subsampling factors. When image components declare
 different subsampling values, the non-samescale sub-byte-depth output path allocates a row buffer sized
 for packed output but writes a full byte per output column regardless of bit depth, overflowing the
 allocation and corrupting internal chunk-allocator metadata to achieve code execution. (CVE-2026-39919)

Solution

Update the ghostscript library and its related packages to version 10.05.1~dfsg-1+deb13u2 or later.
