How to fix?

Upgrade Wolfi ghostscript to version 10.03.1-r0 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 Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi 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.
