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

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474344

Description

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

 - A vulnerability was identified in Artifex Ghostscript up to 10.09.0. Affected is the function
 type1_callsubr of the file devices/vector/gdevpsfx.c of the component Pdfwrite. The manipulation leads to
 stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly
 available and might be used. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue. A solution was
 implemented: "I've chosen to fix this slightly differently by using the defined macro in the font parsing
 loop rather than in the callsubr function, because this better matches the pattern of 'normal' usage."
 (CVE-2026-103226)

Solution

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