CVE-2018-11645 Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Title: Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Ghostscript.
Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple security issues in Ghostscript. If a user
or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file,
a remote attacker could possibly use these issues to access arbitrary
files, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

ghostscript: .definemodifiedfont memory corruption if /typecheck is handled (699668)
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files could use insufficient interpreter stack-size checking during error handling to crash the interpreter.
It was discovered that ghostscript did not properly handle certain stack overflow error conditions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document.
Statement: This issue affects the versions of ghostscript as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is now in Maintenance Support 2 Phase of the support and maintenance life cycle.

CVE-2019-16542 [MEDIUM] CWE-522 Jenkins Anchore Container Scanner Plugin vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Jenkins Anchore Container Scanner Plugin vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Jenkins Anchore Container Image Scanner Plugin 1.0.19 and earlier stores credentials unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins master where they can be viewed by users with Extended Read permission, or access to the master file system.
The credential being stored was a service password for the Anchore.io service. As the affected functionality has been deprecated, and the affected Anchore.io service has been shut down in late 2018, the affected feature has been removed.
