Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Trustix Secure Linux versions 1.5 through 2.1 espgs package (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files created by the pj-gs.sh, ps2epsi, pv.sh, and sysvlp.sh scripts in the ESP Ghostscript package.

Recommendations: For Trustix Secure Linux versions 1.5 through 2.1, consider restricting access to the pj-gs.sh, ps2epsi, pv.sh, and sysvlp.sh scripts until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the execution of these scripts to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to temporary files created by these scripts to prevent unauthorized overwriting of files.
