How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 ghostscript to version 9.52-150000.194.1 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 SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 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.
