How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 ghostscript-tools-dvipdf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-tools-dvipdf package and not the ghostscript-tools-dvipdf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. There is path traversal (via a crafted PostScript document) to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths. For example, there can be a transformation of ../../foo to ./../../foo and this will grant access if ./ is permitted.
