How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 ghostscript to version 10.0.0~dfsg-11+deb12u4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example, restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output filename.
