CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 ghostscript.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.21rc1 permits the status command even if -dSAFER is used, which might allow remote attackers to determine the existence and size of arbitrary files, a similar issue to CVE-2016-7977.
