Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-4972-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the DSA-4972-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ghostscript' package(s) announced via the DSA-4972-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, does not properly validate access for the '%pipe%', '%handle%' and '%printer%' io devices, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Postscript file is processed (despite the -dSAFER sandbox being enabled). For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 9.53.3~ dfsg-7+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages. For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'ghostscript' package(s) on Debian 11. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
