high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423943

Description

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

 - In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via
 crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter,
 after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs
 command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server). (CVE-2023-43115)
