critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404584

Description

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

 - A memory corruption issue was found in Artifex Ghostscript 9.50 and 9.52. Use of a non-standard PostScript
 operator can allow overriding of file access controls. The 'rsearch' calculation for the 'post' size
 resulted in a size that was too large, and could underflow to max uint32_t. This was fixed in commit
 5d499272b95a6b890a1397e11d20937de000d31b. (CVE-2020-15900)
