Description<\/h3>\n
\n The version of ghostscript installed on the remote host is prior to 8.70-24.34. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2025-1967 advisory.<\/p>\n

The calculation of the buffer size was being done with int values, and overflowing that data type. The bug has existed since the creation of the file contrib\/japanese\/gdevnpdl.cThe calculation of the buffer size was being done with int values, and overflowing that data type. By leaving the total size calculation to the memory manager, the calculation ends up being done in size_t values, and avoiding the overflow in this case, but also meaning the memory manager overflow protection will be effective.<\/p>\n

Fixed in ghostpdl-10.05.0<\/p>\n

Info: https:\/\/bugs.ghostscript.com\/show_bug.cgi?id=708133Patch: https:\/\/cgit.ghostscript.com\/cgi- bin\/cgit.cgi\/ghostpdl.git\/commit\/?id=57291c846334f1585552010faa42d7cb2cbd5c41 (CVE-2025-27832)<\/p>\n

Potential print buffer overflow. Fixed in ghostpdl-10.05.0 by implementing stricter buffer length validation.<\/p>\n

Info: https:\/\/bugs.ghostscript.com\/show_bug.cgi?id=708192Patch: https:\/\/cgit.ghostscript.com\/cgi- bin\/cgit.cgi\/ghostpdl.git\/commit\/?id=8b6d19b2b4079da6863ef25f2370f25d4b054919 (ghostpdl-10.05.0) (CVE-2025-27836)<\/p>\n

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.<\/p>\n

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