Description

According to the version of the ghostscript package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - Integer overflow in the gs_heap_alloc_bytes function in base/gsmalloc.c in Ghostscript 9.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Postscript (ps) file, as demonstrated by using the ps2pdf command, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.(CVE-2015-3228)
