Echo: ghostscript: security update to 10.05.1~dfsg-1+deb13u3

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474340

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in Ghostscript. When Ghostscript renders a crafted PostScript or EPS document, it can
 bypass the -dSAFER sandbox and execute arbitrary shell commands in the context of the Ghostscript process.
 The issue chains memory corruption in document parsing with disabling of internal path access controls at
 runtime. An attacker can deliver the document directly or through formats that delegate rendering to
 Ghostscript (for example EPS import or print conversion workflows). Successful exploitation can compromise
 confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data accessible to the process running Ghostscript.
 (CVE-2026-101258)

Solution

Update the ghostscript library and its related packages to version 10.05.1~dfsg-1+deb13u3 or later.
