The version of ghostscript installed on the remote host is prior to 9.54.0-9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2614 advisory.

Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.0 has a heap-based pointer disclosure (observable in a constructed     BaseFont name) in the function pdf_base_font_alloc. (CVE-2024-29508)

Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1, when Tesseract is used for OCR, has a directory traversal issue that     allows arbitrary file reading (and writing of error messages to arbitrary files) via OCRLanguage. For     example, exploitation can use debug_file /tmp/out and user_patterns_file /etc/passwd. (CVE-2024-29511)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
